Hiked Mount Greylock today, elevation 3,491 ft,; tallest mountain in Massachusettes. Round trip 6h, ~7 mi and a climb of ~1800 ft. Also Crossed over Stony Ledge, 2560 ft. Took Roaring Brook Trail to Stony Ledge Trail, to Sperry Road, to Hopper Trail to summit. Returned down the Roaring Brook Trail from Sperry Road. Crossed the Appalachian Trail near the summit.

There is a war memorial on top, that looked to have a killer view (the summit is dominated by it and so from the ground there is only one good view in one direction, East towards Adams) but it was closed, so will have to come back after Memorial Day.

It was a pretty nice hike, only ran into one person (with his dog) who told us to "enjoy". We wondered why he had ski polls until we reached the Hopper Trail, which was still largely covered in ice and snow. Ran across a neat looking cabin on a very pretty pond on the Hopper Trail; will have to check out in the summer as well. Also, the Overlook Trail looks to be promising, especially when the leaves have returned to the trees.

There were many red spruce along the trail, especially in the upper reaches, as well as some very nice yellow birches and balsam fir. Also were many beech, maple and hemlock, though the latter more towards the bottom.
