Mount Holyoke Range State Park

Great park with nice trails. A lot of options for trails with various length and difficulty. We chose the path 12 - Bag Mount Norwottuck (spent around 1h one way). Great view! The Notch visitor center also had a restroom and water refill station. There's some information displayed for view even when the center itself is closed. Would recommend!

Plenty of parking, restrooms and water make this trail head 5 star. The trails are well maintained, well marked with maps available at the visitors center. Nice views from various summits along the way.. would be nice if overnight parking was allowed for multi-day backpacking trips

Nice view of the gorge, short walk from the visitor center. Nice mix of lengths of trails, some short, easy .75 of a mile, or much longer if you like.

Did the mount norwottuck loop- great hike. Challenging on the way up but excellent payoff with these spectacular views, and pretty easy on the Robert frost trail back to parking. Really robust visitor center with the nicest and most helpful rangers you’ll ever meet.

An incredible state park with breathtaking views and well-marked trails. The range offers a great variety of hikes for different skill levels, and the summit views make every step worth it. Restrooms available on site which is always a plus. A fantastic outdoor destination in western Massachusetts!

Nice place to hike, enjoy the outdoors. I have to come back as I did not have enough time to get to the top of the Bare Mountain and enjoy the view. Stay tuned! Here i am back into the outdoor adventure, finally made it to the top of Bare Mountain. It is a beautiful scenic panoramic view and relaxing.

Well maintained, easy to park, bathrooms in the visitor center and very good view

We hiked the Mount Norwottuck Loop - a bit challenging but the views are stunning

Lots of options for different hikers, with similar but slightly-different views throughout the range. Bare Mountain and Hitchcock Mountain are personal favorites and can be made into a 3.5ish-mile loop with the Robert Frost Trail. I did have one weird experience here with a guy who was acting fishy. As a solo female hiker, I find that the further into the backcountry you go, the safer you are, as all the other people out there are committed hikers, too. Since all of these trails are fairly accessible, you can meet just about anybody out there. I'd recommend a personal alarm or hiking with a buddy (which, as a woman, is unfortunately just good practice, anyway).

My friend and I started our 6 mile hike here by climbing up Bare mountain and then making our way over the 7 sister peaks. We left a car at the other end (bottom of Mt. Holyoke) so that we didn't have to make our way back the same way. This was a great hike because instead of just one peak and view, we got a bunch (not really 7 views). The path is well marked and maintained throughout. We followed the white trail the whole way. It's nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors and not feel like you're going to get lost along the way. Definitely a great long but easy hike.

Lots of different options for different kinds of hikers. Bare Mountain is close to the parking on 116 and is a great, short hike that's a little steep but not too hard. On the other side of 116 there are lots of trails to choose from (see the web site). The Horse Caves is a nice location in the center of the park.

Great place to go for a hike. You can hike a short distance or long. We decided to hike bear, my friend also brought her dog. It was a little steep and lots of rocks so becareful but the view at the top was breath taking. We could even see Hartford, it was a beautiful day!
