Dugan: Agree...Great place and great views..I discovered those paths coming down as I avoided a couple rocky scrambles for my then weary knees. It is a special place..Not the whites but special and accessible..

Sunday, 9/17 started as a beautiful early fall day. No color yet but a great day to be on the trail. Arrived at Mt Tom state reservation about 930AM and drove to far parking area on Smiths Ferry Rd ( before Chis Clark Rd). Parked here, loaded up and headed backwards to interesect the M&M trail...

Nice report on a great place!! Good pics too!! Thanks

Bussiness and rain kept me confined to the Red Lion in Stockbridge, Mass for 2 days but on my first "free day" Friday, I was greeted by continued rain. Finally @ 1030AM, I headed to the closest and easiest trailhead:Monument Mtn. Driving there, the rain stopped. Considering my good fortune but...

Feedback of actual... Business stuff tied me up for a few days @ Red Lion in Stockbridge followed by 2 days continual rain. But did manage to get in 2 shorter hikes in my "free time". Did Monument Mtn. Friday as the rains finally eased mid- morning. Then Sunday, my last day there, climbed Mt...

No rattlers on my hikes up Mt Tom (holyoke range) and Mt monument (near Gr Barrington) last week. Separate report to follow...

Thanks BC I'm going to try Mt Negus one of the free times I get.. Take care...

Hearing reports of fair amounts of rattlesnakes in the W Mass/Berkshire trails..Are they still there this time of the year (Sept-Oct)? Thanks. Or do I bring a nurse/doctor??

Thanks Tom but I won't be able to attend.....Have fun..

TOM: Thanks. Schedule looking a bit tight. Possible detour up to NH also if time permits. Doesn't look good for joining. Have fun...

Thanks for pics. Looks good even if I'm not a pirate :) . Good views and country...

Black Cap also looking good but pretty close to N. Conway. I'd have to be there on a weekend so does solitude not exist there?? Or is it worth it anyway? :)

Jfb: Sounds like a good hike. Can't find Haley Farm Trail in my book but this is '95 edition of AMC Mass/RI guide (believe there's newer one). Understand the hopper is attractive but having trouble figuring out the loop and connections. Hike sounds perfect otherwise...Thanks

Great pics..Looks like a great short loop w views. Its on my short list. Thanks TDawg

I know these are "easy" baby hikes but which of these 3 would be your favorite (feeling of wilderness, solitude, view, etc)?: -Black Mtn via Chipewa -Boulder Loop -Black Cap Thanks for your ideas....

I'm hearing Zealcliff trail is pretty steep and strenuous? Wondering if my gimpy knee (w ITBS) can handle that...Sounds like the effort/reward ratio is high considering the view, etc...Oh well..

Beautiful place and picture...Thanks

When coming up Zealcliff trail and joining Twinway, how much farther is it (to the right I believe) to the famed Zealcliff outlook? And then how much farther to top of Zealand Mtn? Thanks.. map isn't clear...I understand a great view!!
