Sugarloaf Mountain
Sugarloaf Mountain is one of my favorite local Maryland spots. A quick and easy drive from my home with several hiking trails, beautiful farm-filled overlooks and a lovely fall foliage treat of colors.
I am a bit excited to hike this little mountain when I return home next month.
