This is a popular hiking destination due to the fact that there are several breathtaking views in many different directions along the ridge within a relatively short distance and because the hike is not particularly difficult.  The trails in along the ridge are well maintained and are very easy to follow.  From this area, you will see Mt. Greylock, the Taconic Range on the New York border, The Dome in Vermont and possibly some other surprises on a clear day.   The total hiking time is about five and half hours and the total distance is about six miles round trip.  We will meet at 9:30.  Dogs are welcome as both poeple leading the trip will have there dogs.  Keep in mind it is hunting season,  so wear some type of bright clothing.  If there is interest I would like to do a bond fire and potluck at my house after.  Please e-mail me if you are interested

 The Trailhead is located 3 miles from MA Route 2.  At the intersection of Central Shaft Road and Old Florida Road (old florida road is not a usable road anymore). Just beyond the state forest headquarters at 260 Central Shaft Road. Please note depending on were you are coming from GPS might send you on Blackmore road.  This road is closed.  Just stay on Route 2 and shortly after blackmore road you will see signs for savoy state forest.
