The Ramblers have done a Memorial Day weekend trip to the Berkshires for the past several years, as one member has a vacation home there. This was my first year there, and in fact my first time ever hiking in Massachusetts.
On Saturday, we did a 13.6-mile chunk of the Appalachian Trail, from near Upper Goose Pond to Pittsfield Road. It made for a very long car shuttle, so it might be better as a key swap. But it was a very pleasant hike that passed by two large ponds, a farm or two, and some pine forests. While there were definite ups and downs, there were no large peaks with views.
I was complaining about the heat, of course. The weather hasn't remained consistent enough for my body to acclimate yet.
While the hike didn't have any charismatic megafeatures, it did have lots of nice (and varied) scenery.
