The Overlook Trail, 3.2 miles total, rounds the South and West side of Greylock on the upper portion of the summit. Parking at Sperry/CCC on Rockwell go across the road onto Sperry and get on the Hopper, until the intersection with the Overlook. You can also get on this loop from the summit. Rocks and roots dominate this trail making it a bit technical and great single track hiking as it curves the mountain, lots of mountain springs keep it wet at almost a constant 3,100 feet of elevation. About mid-way thru a small vista sign takes you to an overlook looking West of Williamstown and Haley Farm and the Taconics and a view of the Hopper not accessible anywhere else. This trail connects the Hopper Trail to the Appalachian Trail.

Saturday’s hike at Mount Greylock State Reservation was a route from the Sperry Road CCC trail parking, up the Hopper to the Overlook Trail, then onto to Notch Road and a spur to Robinsons Point with phenomenal views! We then got on the Appalachian Trail and followed the old Thunderbolt Ski Trail to the summit ( here some of us went on Mike Whalen’s Walk with Thoreau event) lunch at Bascom Lodge, up the War Memorial then back down on the Appalachian Trail to Hopper and parking at Sperry Road. Just under 7 miles and 6 hours on the highest mountain in Massachusetts!
