8-21-9 Mt. Sugarloaf S. Deerfield Ma.

Have been eyeing top of this hill for few months.
You can park below off 116 on Sugarloaf st. and take Pocumtuck Ridge trail to the top. Trail is most direct route to summit. Today's heat and one more delivery to do has me driving to the top. No charge for hikers and weekday visitors. Weekenders driving to summit pay 2bucks.

Pavilion for rent at the top gives great views along with first come first serve BBQ pits.

Mel Gibson filmed here on Oct 10 2008 for upcoming movie.
Tri level observation tower. No rush at this place, even on a hazy day.


Bridge below is where first picture of this post was taken, coming from Sunderland.
