Enjoy this short hike to a beautiful tower giving you views in four states!

A roadway provides access halfway up the mountain making for a shorter hike however, from November first through the third weekend in April, it is a "walk-in" facility with limited parking available at the entrance. The interior road of the park is open to vehicles from the third weekend in April until November first.

There is a yellow trail which starts at the entrance of the park.  You can access a printer-friendly map of the area here including the yellow loop trail here.

There is a 34 foot high stone tower at the summit offering 360 degree views. You will see the Berkshires, and peaks in Massachusetts, New York, and the Green Mountains of Vermont.
