Mount Greylock

Beautiful mountain with gorgeous views! Great place to catch sunset or sunrise! Nice trails. It's definitely worth coming and spending some time with friends and family! You can go on a very top veterans war memorial tower and see beautiful views from above.

On October 15th my wife and I took a day trip ride to Adams MA. area from CT. We originally set off to catch some nice fall colors in the Berkshires. Well the day itself was cloudy and very windy and it seemed to further north we went the less the vibrant colors we were looking for were. We made a few stops along the ride and then inquired at a local restaurant where can we go to see some colors? The person I was talking with was very nice and spent time trying tom direct me somewhere to see colorful trees. She then said Mt. Greylock, is a wonderful spot to see foliage, but it may be busy there, but with the weather the way it was she said you may luck out. Man o man was she right, we did luck out, the trees were mot all that spectacular but on the way up the mountain the temperature dropped from 43 down to 36 and as we approached the top all the trees were coated with a frosty combination of frost and a light snow. offering a great opportunity to take some photos.My wife has a bad ankle so she didn't want to chance slipping and hurting it more, so I ascended to the Memorial tower and walked up the stone then turns to a spiral staircase to the top. What a view with the new frosty coating it was great. as we departed Adams., MA. on our way back home the cloudy then sunny skies opened up with a quick blast of rain, we were on the edge of this weather front and were then treated to a spectacular double rainbow. I followed the rainbow til we got close to where we were going to get on the highway home a caught another view of the rainbow over the highway. The colors were the most vibrant I had ever seen. Great day trip, parking can be tough at the top of the mountain. There are many spots but I imagine on a very nice day it would be maxed out.

Beautiful and historic, a land rich with folklore and legends. The trails are vast, the views are beautiful. And the ghosts that linger between the trees don't bother you much.

Mount Greylock, topped by the 93-foot-tall Massachusetts Veterans War Memorial Tower, is Massachusetts's tallest point. The views from the top are almost endless. In places, the Appalachian Trail crosses the road to the top, and some visitors hike a section of the trail to the top. The endless sea of colorful foliage can be beautiful in the early autumn.

what a WONDERFUL place. it was very clean, the summit was beautiful, views from EVERYWHERE. did a one hour hike since i got there a little late but it was so beautiful and honestly a little difficult! went on a weekday and there was still a good amount of people there. thankfully there was fresh water because the water bottle i had was running low. going to the top of the tower was easy but it did feel a little claustrophobic, the place is quite small but still worth seeing the view from up there!

Went on a hike with family here. Good hike. Not too challenging for younger hikers who have experience. My 12 year old niece went with us. She did not find the trail to be too difficult. The view from the top of the summit was great. There is a hotel at the top, so there was a public restroom available at the top. The hike was about 6 miles in total.

Definitely a beautiful place to hike .I found the aircraft parts and when I almost get to summit which is on the Bernard Farm trail if you follow it from the all trails app. It is a steep but durable hike. I followed the Bernard Farm trail and then hopped on the Appalachian Trail which took me all the way up to the top where the monument was. Just before you reach the monument it will be a little bit steep in a section that will be a little bit of a challenge but definitely loved the workout. The Rocks were very slippery and covered with leaves. It definitely was a bit chillier at the top so please dress warm and be prepared.

The hike up was wonderful; luckily we had excellent weather. Bellows Pipe up and Gould Trail back but it was not difficult and if you enjoy getting out there, breathing fresh air and getting your heart rate up, we highly recommend. Brought sandwiches and some water to have a nice picnic at the top. Normally, I wear knee braces and I didn’t even have to wear them. So with that being said, give it a go. You will not regret it.
