Bicycling Up And Over Mount Greylock, Mass.

Over the years we have hiked up and down Mount Greylock a few times. It is the highest point of elevation in Massachusetts so it attracts hikers, bikers and highpointers. The highpointer club is for folks looking to summit all of the 50 states’ highest peaks. After all the hiking we have done, a nice bike ride seemed in order. We started right out of our campground and cycled up and over Greylock to North Adams before heading east to Williamstown and then south back to our campground to complete a 37 mile loop.

This monument on the summit memorializes the Commonwealth’s fallen soldiers from WWI. Extremely nicely done.
90 steps on this circular staircase.
  • Nicely done!
  • Very nice commemoration.
View from the top of the memorial. Gorgeous.
The beginning of the 8 mile long uphill ride looks fairly harmless eh?
We had never actually seen a sign signifying a “hairpin turn”.
This is an Appalachian Trail crossing the summit road. I was not sure which way to go??

Great ride to the summit!

We took this picture at one of the scenic view pullouts. Nice day for a ride!
Beautiful accommodations at the summit!
Nicely done.
One of a few rests on the way up the 8 mile long hill.
An appropriately named road for the end of our ride.
