We finally went up Mt. Greylock this weekend. It is the tallest mountain in the state of Massachusetts. Absolutely breathtaking views abound at the summit, but there are also many fascinating trails and different areas to explore. We took the drive up, rather than hike it, since it was late in the day when we decided to go. Little Miss and I want to hike it some day soon, though!! I loved that they had information plaques to point out where different locations were in relation to the peak of the mountain. I found it interesting to learn that Mt. Grelock is on the Appalachian Trail. There is a lodge at the top, Bascom Lodge, where hikers can stay for the night as they continue on their trek along the Appalachian Trail. But anyone could also grab a bite to eat, a glass of wine, or a cookie 🍪 (which was very reasonably priced!! This is another great day trip if you are in or around the Berkshires!!
