Hi, I was wondering if anyone has hiked this mountain in North Central MA before? I have been doing parts of the Holyoke Range lately and would like to hike more of the M&M trail. It's really a nice trail that isn't too far for me to drive to. If someone has done this section, let me know how it...

I have hiked this area before. I have taken the AT from the rte.8 crossing up to the top of Saddle Ball Mt. My question pertains to parking. The time I did this, I parked my car at a gas station which is a few tenths of a mile south of the AT crossing rte.8. I then walked the road to the trail...

Hi, people I have been thinking about maybe trying some winter hiking this season, something that I have never done before. Aside from the obvious cold weather stuff, are crampons the usual add-on for your boots? Is the idea of the crampon to only use them in a slippery situation and be able to...

Howdy, I have been wanting to head up to the Stony Ledge across from Mt Greylock for a hike. Have any of you done this trail? Is it a good viewpoint? Looking across from Mt Greylock, it appears to have a good view back to Greylock. What is a good parking place? I would be driving in from the...

Howdy, My wife and I took a ride up to Greylock Glen yesterday for a walk. I was telling her about my three hikes this fall around the mountain. One of which was Saddle Ball Mt. We later went down rte. 7 to Pontoosac Lake in Pittfield. When you look north to the mountains from the parking area...

Saturday was a beautiful day for sure. I hopped in the car and took the 75 mile ride to North Adams, MA and did a hike up the AT southbound to the cliffs where the MT Prospect trail branches off of the AT. I continued the extra mile to the MT Prospect summit, which is just a rockpile in the...

I took today off and took a motorcycle ride (my other love) up to the Mt Greylock area. I didn't see any snow anywhere on the peaks of the Hoosac range. It would have been a wonderful day to be in the woods on the mountain. I stopped at the reservoir and also the Glen, and it was gorgeous...

Hi, I am thinkng on taking up hike up to Mt Prospect soon. I was wondering if any of you have gone up there, and if it is worth the walk. I see if you take the AT from the reservoir at the base of Greylock to start, and then the Mt Prospect trail veers off at a lookout area part way up. Are...

Hello people, Still a newbie here. Yesterday, I took a day off for a hike. I went to Cheshire, MA to the AT crossing on rte. 8, and did the five mile hike up Saddle Ball Mtn. This is part of the AT. Not much views to speak of since the last 3/4 mile was in the clouds and cold mist. Also, the...

Daypack Recommandations... I have been renewing my interest in dayhiking again, and am thinking on getting a new pack. I have an old Quest now that is ok, but I don't like the design of the bottle pockets. When I bend forward, the bottles usually fall out of them. They need to be more upright...

Hello people, Still a newbie here. I have been checking in often though. I am trying to return to hiking, which is something I enjoy, but mostly alone. I posted when I joined up here about carring protection, such as a knife or mace, which for the most part, most of you don't worry about. I...

Hi, I just signed up here and am having a look around. I enjoy hiking, among other things. I have done some of the White Mtn. trails in the past. I also like to do trails on Mt. Greylock. I guess I have read and dreamed more than I actually have done when it come to hiking, but when you have...
