About Sugarloaf Hill

Sugarloaf Hill is a summit in New York about 1.2 miles from the town of Highland Falls, making it a quick objective for anyone already in the area. Early fall is a comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the nearby West Point weather station run to highs around 76°F and lows near 57°F in September, and the hill sits several hundred feet above that station, so temperatures on top tend to be somewhat cooler. Several outings start close by. Sugarloaf Trail is just 0.4 miles away, with Castle Rock Trail and White Rock both under a mile off. Climbers can head to Storm King Mountain, about 5.5 miles away.
