| Trails: |
Meadow Trail, Grace Greylock Niles Trail, Summit Trail |
|
| Date of Hike: |
Saturday, August 27, 2016 |
|
| Parking/Access Road Notes: |
I was surprised to find the Mason Street trailhead lot empty on a beatifically sunny early Saturday afternoon in August. The Meadow Trail is among the AMC Guide's Recommended, and deservedly so, but this apparently is off the beaten track. |
|

Dry Trail |
|
| Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
| Water Crossing Notes: |
None. |
|
| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Fine, with ample TTOR blazing. The kiosk map shows a Viewpoint at the top of the Summit Trail, however, that isn't there - not even a peek. |
|
| Dog-Related Notes: |
|
|
| Bugs: |
Lots of little swarmers in places, but not biting. |
|
