Sugarloaf Hill, Mountain summit in Putnam County, New York, United States.
Sugarloaf Hill rises to 785 feet above sea level, featuring steep terrain and rocky outcrops characteristic of the Hudson Highlands geological formation.
During the Revolutionary War, Colonel Beverley Robinson's house at the base of Sugarloaf Hill served as headquarters for American generals, including Benedict Arnold.
The Dutch settlers named this elevation after its resemblance to a sugarloaf when viewed while sailing upstream on the Hudson River.
The yellow-blazed trail leads hikers through switchbacks to the summit, offering a moderate difficulty level suitable for intermediate outdoor enthusiasts.
Eastern prickly pear cactus grows naturally on the summit ledges due to the warmth from the Hudson River and the sunlit rock exposures.
