Sugarloaf Mountain
About
Sugarloaf Mountain is a summit in New York, about 4.4 miles from the town of Tannersville. It makes a natural objective for hikers working the trails in the immediate area, several of which start within a mile or two of the peak. Summer is the most comfortable season to go. Typical averages from the Slide Mtn weather station, about 16 miles away, run to highs near 74°F and lows near 56°F in July, with September cooling to highs around 67°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. Mink Hollow Trail lies just 0.6 miles away and Pecoy Notch Trail about 0.8 miles out. Jimmy Dolan Notch Trail is roughly 1.8 miles off, and Devil's Path, a mountain biking route, lies about 2.4 miles away.
