    Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts. The memorial is beautiful and a great way to…read morehonor the bravery and sacrifices our veterans. The drive up to the summit is an easy drive, about 30 minutes. The State Reservation Center showed a short informational video. We were able drive up early in the morning to watch the sun rise and get some great pictures.

    Our visit to Mount Greylock was nothing short of breathtaking! As the highest point in…read moreMassachusetts, we imagine the panoramic views from the summit would be absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, the peak was cloud covered with breaking sun during our visit. The drive up was scenic, with winding roads offering glimpses of the charming woodland scenes. Once at the top, the Veterans War Memorial Tower added a historical touch to the beauty of the surroundings. The short hike around the summit was peaceful. If you're feeling adventurous, there are longer trails that seemed perfect for a day hike. We didn't have time to tackle them all but definitely plan to return. We hid a coin in a slate rock wall near the Appalachian Trail for our church brother to find should he reach this spot during his early 2025 attempt at traversing the trail. There's a small visitor center however it was closed during our visit. We were unable to grab a quick bite at Bascom Lodge. All in all, Mount Greylock is a must-see if you're in the Berkshires, offering the perfect blend of nature, history, and beauty. Just be sure to bring your camera--the views are unforgettable!

    Had a nice spring hike here along the trails and a lot of trilliums, jack in the pulpit, violets,…read moreand others were blooming in the woods. A great quiet spot with varied types of trees and ATV trails that are well groomed and look tick safe as well. The rocks themselves are interesting glacial erratics clustered in the woods near the "balancing rick" which in itself is really cool to see. Sadly the lowlife dragnuckled troglodytes who have also sought this spot out for their own nefarious rituals have left their marks like beasts urinating and defecating in some desperate plea to be memorialized before their puerile and vacuous little lives come to a miserable end. The rocks have been tagged and carved over the years leaving the main attraction a sad wreckage of nature that also reflects how rare it is today to see natural beauty as yet undefiled by a plebeian urban mob better served by a bag of party sized Doritos couch side with Call of Duty gun fire blaring on the big screen. A video camera with night vision should be set up at sites like this to catch the miscreants so they can be rounded up and put to work repairing the damage they do in the world. I know that the park system is strapped for cash now and understaffed but someone should really check more often to remove at least the most offensive messages and other garbage left on these blighted stones. The swastika needs to go!

    Great 15 min walk in and back out for us! Helped with the cabin fever this Feb weekend!read more
