 | Comments: |
Very interesting little mountain range - never had been. Interesting view tower and infrastructure at top of South Sugarloaf - no views because it was too foggy but we could occasionally see the Connecticut River valley below. Total mileage about 3.5, around 800' elev total. No views from N Sugarloaf but woods were super pretty. |
