 | Comments: |
I originally wanted to hike Mt. Toby but couldn't find the trailhead, so I hiked So. Sugarloaf instead. (Later found out I was about 5 miles from the Mt. Toby TH.) Wet and soggy, but the views of the Connecticut River Valley were still really cool. Nice place to take a hike, and the summit is a good place for a family picnic. |
