Sarah was giving a workshop at Western Massachusetts Regional Library System (WMRLS) near Deerfield, MA today, so I had 3 hours to spend in the area. I went in search of a cup of coffee and almost immediately ran across the entrance to Mount Sugarloaf State Reservation. I had seen the observation tower and access road from the WMRLS parking lot and it looked like an interesting place to check out, so I went on up. Aside from a park maintenance person, I had the place to myself for an hour or so. I kept waiting for the clouds to lift so I could get some decent pictures, but they never did. So I took what shots I could. Nice place, though. Tables and BBQ pits are scattered around the tower at the top and there are several trails for those with more ambition than I.
