Tyringham Cobble on Jerusalem Road an amazingly beautiful geological treasure in the Tyringham Valley.  Three miles of a main loop goes up and over the Cobble formation passing Rabbit Rock a sandstone formation with a section of the Appalachian Trail sharing this path making options for hiking more mileage thru cow fields north and along hop brook south. “Originally known as “Cobble Hill” Tyringham Cobble encompasses 206-acres of land, and is managed by the Trustees of Reservations. In 2008, a section of the 2,175-mile-long Appalachian National Scenic Trail (AT) was re-routed over the summit ledges of the cobble.  What’s somewhat unusual about Tyringham Cobble is that the oldest rocks are found on top-not on the bottom as you would expect. Geologists conjecture that the cobble was dislodged from a nearby hill and flipped over during what can only be described as a violent or cataclysmic event.” Courtesy “Berkshire Destinations Christy Butler” Even the parking lot is beautiful!
