Mount Greylock

From the Greylock Glen trailhead, the hike first follows the Glen Meadow Loop through open meadow, wetland edges and woodland, with Mount Greylock rising ahead as the route leaves the gentler Glen paths for the Bellows Pipe approach.

The climb then moves into denser forest on Bellows Pipe and toward the historic Thunderbolt Ski Trail, a steeper old ski line that cuts up the eastern side of the mountain through rocky, ferny terrain.

Near the crest, the route joins the Appalachian Trail and finishes at Mount Greylock’s summit area, where Bascom Lodge, the Massachusetts Veterans War Memorial Tower and wide Berkshire views provide a memorable high-point arrival.
