High Ledge, Massaemett Mountain
Shelburne, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Sanctuary Road to the High Ledges
Route: Sanctuary Road, unnamed trail, Tower Road
Gated roads and trails were mostly dry and in good shape (great for jogging). Nice morning views of the fog rising in the Deerfield River Valley near Shelburne Falls from the High Ledges. Good views as always from the rock fire tower on Massaemett.
