Mount Greylock State Reservation
Lanesborough, MA
Troop 54 heads west again to Mount Greylock State Reservation for this trip. We will drive up Friday night and make camp at Mount Greylock. First, we will backpack (at night) the easy 1.5 mile trail from the cars to the Lower Group Area site in the campground. On Saturday, we will hike to the summit without the backpacks.
Pack light - "Every ounce counts!" A few specifics:
- Bring a day back for lunch, water and other trail essentials.
- Bring a flashlight for the night time hike.
- Use our Backwoods Camping List to make sure you don't forget anything. Be sure to include plenty of water. See other camping information on our Camping page. Definitely bring rain gear.
