Geocache Description:


This cache is at Tyringham Cobble, a property of The Trustees of Reservations and was placed with permission.
The Cobble is open year-round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Parking is available on Jerusalem Rd and at the Town Pavilion near the Firehouse.

   

What makes Tyringham Cobble a special place?
    

A geologic wonder, the Cobble (possibly derived from a German word for “rocks”) was born from massive tectonic movements that shifted ancient strata, leaving an exposed underbelly of rock atop a high ridge. Today, you can follow a loop trail past rugged ledges to the summit, which emerges at a wildflower-festooned field – a perfect spot for a picnic.
 
Once at the reservation, two miles of trails, including a section of the Appalachian Trail, pass over the twin knobs of Tyringham Cobble offering spectacular views of the valley. Wildflowers, blackberries, blueberries, and wild strawberries grow in clearings and open meadows.
  
While hiking, keep an eye out for an unusually shaped rock formation known as Rabbit Rock. Hop Brook, a favorite fishing stream of President Grover Cleveland, meanders along the northern edge of the reservation on its way west to the Housatonic River.
