The Eyrie House Ruins and the story behind them is right up our alley. We love finding adventures like this that also have a story to them. Had things gone differently for William Street, Mount Nonotuck, might have become a better known mountain. If you like old foundations and history, add this hike to your list. Is is an easy hike on a mostly paved, but in need of repair, road up to a cart path that will bring you right to the remains and beyond. There is also Goat Peak along the way, that is supposed to have views, we decided to hold off on that one for the day. The road is clear most of the way up to the ruins, but there is some snow and ice patches still. For anyone interested in seeing the day's adventure, we did post a video on YouTube.
