South Sugarloaf Mountain, North Sugarloaf Mountain
South Deerfield, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Pocumtuck Ridge trail up South Sugarloaf
The Pocumtuck Ridge up South Sugarloaf, though short in length, is a challenging hike due to its steepness.
Having not reached the summit of North Sugarloaf in my previous hike, I decided to go back and hike both mountains again and see if there was anything else to see on North Sugarloaf. I also wanted to hike this entire section of the Pocumtuck Ridge trail, as the previous time I had bushwacked part of the way.
