Here's one of the drainages you can take to get up to King's Peak.

From western Mass. the Catskills are the closest. You can be at some great hikes within an hour. Check out this link for the Catskills highest. http://www.catskill-3500-club.org/peaks.html For the toughest climbs in the Catskills check out the Devil's Path section. It is named for the elevation gain and loss between each peak. If you go to the Dacks or Catskills you will see plenty of mud. I recently did the Blackhead range and Twin & Sugarloaf. Both are great hikes. The views from Twin are some of the best in the Catskills (make sure you hit both peaks). These are 6-7 miles but all have adjacent peaks that can be easily added if you want more.

I did that from Bash Bish as a roundtrip. A very full day, but well worth it. The view from the cairn on Brace mountain is beautiful. Brace is also is a launch site for paragliders.

So are you doing Mt. Washington and Mansfield this year? Actually I think I remember somewhere saying that you wanted to ski Mansfield and claim the summit at the same time, right?
