Pocumtuck Mountain
Colrain, MA, Heath, MA, and Charlemont, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Un-named trail to Pocumtuck summit
Hiking to Pocumtuck from Colrain is a very quiet walk. Despite being in a state forest, the trails aren't heavily traveled, marked, or mapped.
While the views were much better a few decades ago, there are still tremendous views off the ledge on the south side of Pocumtuck.
I also ventured over to the northern knob, which does not offer a view anymore.
