My young nieces will be visiting in June for their 2nd annual "Aunt Di week of fun". The girls range in age from soon to be 7 to 13. They all enjoy the outdoors and I took them hiking last year up in the Adirondacks. Since their last visit I have moved closer to the MA border and was thinking about taking them hiking up Greylock.
I was wondering what kind of hike it would be for them and which trails would be best to take. They are all in pretty good shape (if only I could say the same about me right now) and pretty game to do anything. Typical fearless kids who love getting dirty.
I have been doing some online research on Greylock, but figured first hand knowlege is the best kind to get vs. a brochure. Also, are there any other hikes someone would recommend taking kids on in the area? I know the Adirondacks but am seriously ignorant about western Mass.
