From the end of the Bear-Race-Everett group to
the Mt Greylock group, scenery can be a little slim.
This too shall pass.
1-The Cobbles. I’ve read the definition of a cobble a hundred times and I still don’t get it. However, ledge over Cheshire listed as “The Cobbles” is pretty cool. Nice view into the valley from a narrow rocky stretch of trail.
2-Warner Hill. Weather permitting a view to Mt Greylock 20 or so trail miles away over flat forest.
East Mt. If you can’t be on a mountain with a nice view, console youself by looking at mountains in the distance that do. There’s a view back to the Race-Everett group that shows off its length.
4-Benedict Pond. All right. Now we’re reaching a bit. It’s a nice pond. It’s a break from the woods. Beats being in jail.
5-Ice Gulch. I nteresting formation in the woods near the North Wilcox Shelter. It’s a bit like walking in the center of a huge ice tray with blocks missing, blocks of ground. That’s overselling it a bit but it’s still interesting.
Honorable Mention-Goose Pond.
