It stands in the middle of a long ridge of mountains that include Mount Williams and Fitch to the north and Saddle Ball Mountain to the south. The Appalachian Trail runs over this entire ridge generally from north to south and there are a multitude of trails surrounding Greylock that climb the mountain from several different directions. The mountain is steep from just about every direction and almost all the ascents include over 2,000 vertical feet of climbing. Our favorite way to hike Mount Greylock is from the west via the trailhead on Hopper Road. From this trailhead we followed the Money Brook Trail up Money Brook, to the Mount Prospect Trail, up Mount Prospect and then connected with the Appalachian Trail. From there we followed the Appalachian Trail southward up and over Mount Williams, along the ridge to Mount Fitch and then made the final climb to the summit of Mount Greylock after connecting with the Thunderbolt Trail. From the top of Greylock we followed the Hopper Trail down off the summit and then dropped down the Hopper and eventually made our way back to the trail head on Hopper Road. That's about a 13 mile loop and you've got about 3100 vertical feet of relief from the parking area to the summit of Greylock. The entire loop was a little over 13.1 miles in length and gained about 3130 vertical feet along the way. ➡️ Full Hiking Guide https://bit.ly/HikingMountGreylock --------------------- 🗺️ For more information: AMC's Berkshire Trail Maps - https://amzn.to/42orjre AMC's Massachusetts Trail Guide - https://amzn.to/3HJUhKs Hiking the Berkshires - https://amzn.to/3M038dj AllTrails App - https://alltrails.pxf.io/qzGAZL Trail Brochure - https://www.mass.gov/doc/mount-greylo... --------------------- 🛑 Important Hiking Tips: 1.
