マサチューセッツ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

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.

Nice little waterfall on Shilly Shally Brook. The flow varies greatly depending on the time of year. The falls do occasionally ice over in winter, providing a fleeting chance for ice climbing.

This three-sided lean-to is first-come first-served and has four sleeping spots (two wooden bunks). You are not far from Royalston Falls, which is a great spot to filter water.

While not a reservation, this helps to give other trail users an idea of availability.

Within the Savoy State Forest you will find the Tannery Falls. Alongside Parker Brook Falls, these are among the most striking waterfalls in the state park. They have a drop of about 100 feet.

Pinnacle Rock is one stop along the Rock Circuit Trail. Black Rock, Melrose Rock and Eagle Rock are close by.

If you like a little hiking and a stunning view, Eagle Rock is your place to go. With no trees blocking your way, this rock formation is a great spot to take a break and enjoy the panoramic view.

At Jug End, the trees give a wonderful view over the woods and neighboring mountains to the northwest and southeast.

Sage's Ravine is a popular hiking destination and close to the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut. The long-distance Appalachian Trail runs alongside and there is also a campsite.
