Sugarloaf Mountain, located in Hudson Highlands State Park, is not to be confused with any of the other Sugarloafs in the area. The other, which is nearby, is often referred to as Sugarloaf Hill.

But Sugarloaf Mountain is an easy 1-hour drive from New York City, and part of a park that contains many fun hikes and trails. The hike to the summit of Sugarloaf is not a long one, but it is quite steep, with lots of rocks.

From the open summit, which is accessible via the Yellow Trail, hikers will see lovely views of neighboring mountains and surrounding areas. Hudson Highlands State Park is open from sunrise to sunset and camping is not permitted.
