My dream was to be up the Sugar Loaf at sunset. Considering it had been a cloudy day, I was certainly not disappointed. The whisps of clouds rolled in and out, at times shrouding the Sugar Loaf as they blew across. Due to the clouds you could not see the actual sun setting, but the sky and cloud colouring said... more

A note to anyone planning to go to the Sugar Loaf: bring cash or Visa debit card because those are the only options for purchasing tickets. And yes, the view is spectacular, especially if you're lucky enough to time your visit so you can see the sunset. more
