This is Sugarloaf Mt. which is the central feature in Cochise National
Monument. The main attractions are the Rhyolite Pillars, some of which can
be seem in the Picture.

What a nice symmetrical mountain, and the forest of rock pillars gives
texture to the foreground. Does it look like a sugar loaf from some
other angle?

Nope. I'm guessing given it is the only Pyramid shaped Mountain in the
Chiricahua Range, Sugarloaf was as close a name as the settlers could come
up with!?

is another one:-

That's not the Sugar Loaf we climbed in Wales, it was the shape of a
sugar loaf lying on its side and at the top it was sleeting horizontally
Even the sheep had abandoned it.

I wouldn't even hazard a guess. But the one in Rio Brazil is the Classicly
shaped "Sugarloaf".

There's a Sugar Loaf Hill that was important in the battle of Okinawa
in WW2.

I know of two in Wales, one with a tunnel for the Heart of Wales line
to go under it, and a railway station named Sugar Loaf just to the
north of the tunnel.

The other one we too have climbed more than once. It is, I think, the
one I linked to but seen from a different angle than from the approach
we climbed which was from the south.

I remember the shape you describe but with a precipitous north side
and a long east-west ridge.

We did not meet your weather but it was windy and cold. The dogs
loved it. One walk was in 1975 my slide catalogue tells me.

Given the Universal use of Sugarloafs around the World I'm guessing the
number of Hills and Mountains with that name would be staggering with the
most famous being in Rio Brazil - which is the one I think of as being the
closest to the shape of a Sugarloaf.
