Spruce Hill

Did an easy hike in Massachussets with Howie this afternoon along the Hoosac Range. Parked at the trailhead on Route 2 just past the hairpin turn east of North Adams. Followed the ridge trail to Spruce Hill. The trail was well-constructed with switchbacks, stone steps and bench cuts. There was a dusting of snow in the woods and only a few icy spots on the trail. Needless to say, I slipped on a small patch and fell on my elbow, but fortunately was not hurt. There were nice views along the way and at the summit. Had a cold but very sunny day for our trek. Only saw one other hiker and a dog.
