I wanted to get in a good foliage hike this year. On Wednesday, I drove north and did the 3.4-mile loop over Middle Sugarloaf (2,539 feet) and North Sugarloaf (2,301 feet) in Twin Mountain.

It was an interesting day, starting when I left Tamworth. It clouded up quickly that morning, and I was a little skeptical about my prospects for a foliage hike. But I knew that on cloudy days without glare, the colors can jump right out at you, and I continued north with that in mind.
