Sugarland Mtn & Chimney Tops 10/06/11

The SMHC Wed group of 14 hikers took full advantage of the early fall weather and headed for Newfound Gap. From there we hiked out the AT to the Sugarland Mountain trailhead, then down the Sugarland Mountain trail to the manway that connects with the Chimney Tops trail. Several of us when up to the Chimney Tops before turning around and descending to the Road Prong trailhead on US 441. Total distance, 10 miles. The weather was fantastic, and fall colors are just beginning to show.
