I did a quick hike of Mt. Norwottock near Amherst, MA (26 min/1.6mi/688' vert one way). Though a bit hazy, the views were still pretty good.

One of my favorites. Best spot on the peak is the hidden ledge of the northeast side. Nice grassy outlook, perfect place for an afternoon nap. Still wish they never tore the viewing tower down.

I'm not sure if I saw that ledge on the northeast side, however I did like the southern ledge. Didn't spend much time up there, didn't even go to the caves...next time maybe.
