After climbing out of Robinson Point we crossed Notch Road to get on the Appalachian Trail which in a few feet joined the old Thunderbolt Ski Run. This short, steep section for our final push to the summit had breathtaking views North of the Vermont Mountains, the Dome, Mount Fitch and Spruce Hill. Just 348 feet of climbing to 3,488 feet of elevation at the summit where we found the Thunderbolt Shelter (and hiked right into the Thoreau Talk), lunch at Bascom Lodge then back down the Appalachian Trail passing the small lake and cabin to the Overlook Trail starting our descent to our vehicles. I Highly reccomend this 1.2 mile section on the AT !

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!
