Mount Greylock

Mount Greylock is significant for several reasons. First of all it is the highest peak in Massachusetts, and secondly the border of our 12th state (Vermont) waited just on the other side. The climb was long, but pretty enjoyable. The top is home to a massive tower were you can see a 360 degree view of the surrounding landscape. We got to the top an hour before sunset, and we still had a few miles before we reached the shelter. We only had to hiked in the dark for about 20 minutes before we saw the shelter sign. It was a very long day, but we knew we would be crossing over into Vermont in the morning!
