It had been a while since I had been at Sugarloaf and the Hudson Highlands in general, so figured this was a good opportunity for a nice spring day. We parked at the Sugarloaf Trailhead and took the the trail up the mountain. The trail is a dead end and ends at the view facing Bear Mountain Bridge with a large beavertail cactus grove. At the top at the end of the trail we turned around and went back down the same route that we came up.
