Comments
Comments: Hiked up to Middle Sugarloaf summit. Amazing views of the Presidential Mountains. The Zealand Road and the Sugarloaf Trail is nicely packed down. I wore micro spikes the whole way. The trail to North Sugarloaf Mountain from the trail junction is broken out. I did not venture that way though. There were no other hikers on the trail today, except for a few snow mobiles.
