Sunset Hike on Sugarloaf

The way I got into college was through sports, so because I play soccer and lacrosse, my hiking time is drastically reduced... Last monday I was given the day off of soccer so my roommate and I decided to hike the 'loaf assuming this would be our only opportunity...

Very windy/cloudy on the summit

The clouds cleared and the sun started to set...

yea sorry... should've clarified Sugarloaf Maine

2500 feet of vert in about an hour. Not bad.

Ain't nothing like hiking up Mountain Creek though...

;)

I hear they're re-naming Mountain Creek this year.

can't beat mtn creek... the views of the apalachians are great this time of year...;)

I cant believe Serdj gave you a day off.

Or was it a Runnels morning so you had the afternoon?

haha... didn't realize there were any alum on the board... we didn't have a mid week game and there is some rule with number of consecutive practices

oh yeah, forgot about that. I freaking missed the alumni game (totally blew it, I was even in the state, such a doofus).

Great pics of da loaf, I owe a lot to that place...

Nice pictures.

I stayed there with my family the end of August>begining of September.
