A Sugarloaf Mountain walk

I love the one hour hike up Sugarloaf Mountain, just north of Cold Spring and next to Breakneck Ridge. So last Friday, Brigid and I and Mike and Karen Riner met up, and headed up. It was a good opportunity for Mike to try out his new titanium hip, which he had installed about six months ago.

The weather was great! Brigid took most of these pictures. Two short videos at the end.

That’s a hawk. Photo by me.

 

We actually spent about 90 minutes at the top, both hangin’ around or wanderin’ around

 If you’ve lasted this long, a bonus! Two short videos – first one by Brigid as we are headed off the top of Sugarloaf and Mike and Karen are talking about carrying a rock (?) down with them. That’s me cackling away at the end.

The second one I took, as we look over a tumbling stream, between Sugarloaf and Breakneck Ridge.

 

and the stream

Great trip. No pictures of the beer and pizza afterwards.
