Nice quick trip up Sugarloaf Hill...would’ve been an easier trip but the trail was quite muddy in spots. 3/4 of the way up there is a beautiful view north to West Point...Storm King and Breakneck Ridge. End of the trail has a view South to the Bear Mountain bridge and surrounding areas.
Nice short hike, some good views across the Hudson to West Point and a good vista at the end down to the Bear Mountain Bridge. The varied scenery kept it interesting.
Lovely hike up to Sugarloaf hill. fairly gradual climb until the last bit when it goes straight uphill, which is strenuous for about 10-15 mins. the view may actually be better right before you head east into the woods away from the edge of the mountain than it is at the actual summit, but either way all the views are great. took over an hour (maybe hour and a half?) to get up at a slow pace, with stops.
we loved the views on this trail. great views over the hudson, west point, and bear bridge. steep climb at the end for the last .3 miles - everything else was pretty easy. we took a few wrong turns sue to poor trail marking at key spots, so I would just make sure you sync up with the map along the way. otherwise we had a blast!
Lovely hike. Quite steep in spots. Make sure to go all the way to the end for a great lookout.
Pretty trail that goes through a field, forest and a rocky summit with cacti! Easy to follow the path. Lots of overgrowth though so tuck your pants into your socks or wear bug spray. Make sure you go all the way to the end of the trail. Managed fine with a toddler in a backpack and a 70 year old (in decent hiking shape). The steep part is more of an smooth incline than rocks, so can be slippery heading down.
Some steep elevation but not unreasonable! not a lot of traffic, so you get some nice private views.
This was a bit strenuous for me. There is one part that is really steep! Def recommend walking sticks. Beautiful views at the summit. Clearly marked trail. You can do it!
