This is a scenic 2 mile hike with varying degrees of difficulty. I would not recommend bringing children under 10 years of age due to the length and terrain.

This is a hike to the top of a mountain bordering the town of Montgomery, MA. Before venturing out please read my recommendations and extra waypoints below.
