About This Trail

Imported description

The hike is marked by blue blazes until the AT. It's easy to follow even when there aren't fires. There is an old plane crash on the left side of the trail. Go to the summit after intersecting the AT. Greylock was not much more than a 2.4 mile walk, but it was not very difficult.
