On ascent, there’s a sign at the first bridge across the Brook saying it was closed because the next bridge on the other side was out. Unfortunately, that sign is laying flat on the bridge itself, not standing up from the ground, and it’s easy to miss. |

| Comments: |
Truthfully, the views were more directional than expected and a little underwhelming, but you could see Greylock’s summit tower directly head, and some Westerly peaks. Only saw four other parties the whole day, one descending along the Brook as we started, and three at the picnic area/passing us on Sperry Road to the summit. Far better weather than predicted, and still any day enjoying a Mountain beats a day at work. |
