Berlin Mtn., NY/MA

Date Hiked: 09/25

Trails(s) Hiked: Williams College Ski Trail

Total Distance: About 2 miles

Difficulty: Difficult

Conditions: Mostly cloudy, wet trail

Special Required Equipment: None

The first half of this hike, the old Williams College Ski Slope, is extremely steep, becoming much more mild over the last third of the hike. The summit is bare, allowing for views in nearly all directions (Mt. Greylock, Mt. Everett, Catskills, etc.). Just under 1,400 vertical round trip.
