バークシャー郡の絶景の山頂・トップ13

Mount Everett (2,602 ft) is one of Massachusetts’ highest peaks. While the Appalachian Trail crosses the summit, you can also reach it via several day-hike options. The shortest route starts from a seasonal dirt road near Guilder Pond, with a steep 0.5-mile trail to the top. For a longer, more scenic approach, the Race Brook Falls Trail climbs past waterfalls and joins the AT south of the summit. Other lesser-used access points include the Elbow Trail and Guilder Pond Trail, which allow for short loops. The rocky, open summit offers panoramic views of the Taconics and Berkshires—especially stunning at sunset or in fall.

A great monument with a magnificent view once you have conquered the stairs. Tip: hike to the summit!

Alander Mountain is a heavily wooded mountain on the border of New York and Massachusetts. The trail to get to the peak is straightforwards and moderately challenging. It is worth the effort to get to the top, as you are treated with a great view of the surrounding peaks of the Taconic Mountains.

The trail up to the summit is considered a moderate trail. As it is part of the Appalachian Trail, it is a popular spot for day hikers, birdwatchers and camping. From the top, there is a great view into the valley and to the nearby mountains.

This is the highest point in Massachusetts. At the summit of Mount Greylock you will find the Veterans War Memorial Tower. The 92ft high tower stands as a beacon for peace, to honour those who died during World War I. You can even walk up the inside of the tower for even better views of the surrounding area.

The Bascom Lodge was built in the 1930s at the summit of Mount Greylock. It was managed by the Appalachian Mountain Club for 16 years until 2000 when it came under private ownership. Today you can book a room at the summit of Massachusetts' highest mountain, or if you don't wish to spend the night, you can still enjoy this historic lodge at the cafe, where you can purchase drinks and snacks.
