#flashhike up Tekoa Mountain ON THE CLIFFS you see driving under the green bridge in Russell from old Strathmore Paper Mill on Valley View Road, 800 feet of elevation, 1.4 miles to big vista, 2 hours with stops, half of this hike is very technical with rocky footing on verticle trail.

🚂Friday I posted hiking on the old Chester Becket Railroad which runs from the Becket Quarry to the Chester Railway Station. Here it is as a model(not exact but close) including the giant granite saw(see this still standing across from the train station), the Derrick at the Quarry, notice Bannish Lumber which is across from Sanderson Brook Falls parking lot on the main Boston Albany railroad🚂 #westernmasshilltownhikers #hikethehilltowns #visitchestermass
🚂Hiking the old Chester Becket Railroad from the Becket Quarry. Originally the Chester Quarry the granite was moved by train on this rail to Chester where it met the Boston Albany Railroad. You can see this old railroad from Route 20 up on the mountain ledge on the left while traveling West through Chester and Becket. On Hampden Street in Chester there is a kiosk and official parking to hike a section there as well. I would like to see this entire rail trail opened up as an official trail, it is currently owned by the Becket Land Trust on this section we hiked today🚂 #westernmasshilltownhikers #hikethehilltowns #visitchestermass
