6200' of vertical Not accessible via public transportation. Park car just 0.1 mile west of intersection of Rts 28 & 47 in designated parking lot. 

Original cue sheet incorrectly says Yagerville Rd to end, but actually a left on Greenville Rd.

A public drinking water pipe is on Sugarloaf, on the left, less than 0.1 mile past the turn for Red Hill.

2 deli stops possible on route.

Sugarloaf/ Red Hill ascent, 1600', is the greatest vertical climb in our region.
