Sugarloaf Hill Hike

Sugarloaf has a special place in our hearts since it was our inaugural Girls Gone Hiking hike in 2024! It's on the easier side and is less crowded than the more popular Cold Spring trails. We'll take the train up together, hike, then grab a casual post-hike lunch in Cold Spring.
@girlsgonehikingnyc is a city girl's hike club designed to build sisterhood on the trail by organizing slow-paced day hikes accessible by public transit from NYC.
