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.

Vigorous climbfest: only the most fit need apply. 6000' vertical gain.

Not accessible by rail. Access is by car, via Rt 28 west 31 miles from Exit 19 of the NY State Thruway/ I-87. Big Indian is the intersection of Rt 28 and Rts 47 to the south and Rt 92. Parking is just west of the intersection on the south (left) side of Rt 28. It is about a 2 and a half hour drive from NYC. 

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