Five Rivers


I did an easy walk at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. Didn't feel as guilty leaving Howie home since dogs are not allowed. Followed various trails including North Loop, Big Pine and Vlomankill. Walked about 3 miles altogether on this warm afternoon. Lots of other people out burning off extra calories consumed on Turkey day.

Stony Ledge

I did a short hike with Howie this afternoon just over the border in MA. From Roaring Brook trailhead, we climbed up the Stony Ledge trail to a nice view of the west face of Mount Greylock. Continued along Sperry Road through the campground. (There were actually some hardcore people tent camping.) Went back down the Roaring Brook Trail after a quick side trip to Deer Hill Falls. A splendid late fall day.

 Round-trip Distance: 5.6 mi
Elevation Change: 1460 ft

Windham

I went out to do maintenance on my section of the Escarpment trail. The creek near the trailhead flooded and destroyed the old bridge. There was a new foot bridge and a new section of boardwalk. The rest of the trail was in good shape save for some erosion in a few spots. Got to the end of my section and continued on up to the summit.

Summit Elevation: Windham 3524 ft
Round-trip Distance: 6.4 mi
Elevation Change: 1740 ft

I did a short hike this afternoon with Howie. We climbed Bennett Hill. A nice sunny, but breezy day.
