Mt. Institute
Charlemont, MA and Hawley, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below. "Summit" photos may in fact not be at the actual summit - but instead at the best nearby vista.
The Mohawk ski trail
Hiking the Mohawk Trail offers the second easiest ascent up Mt. Institute from the Berkshire East base area (the easiest being Roundabout to Outback), yet the steepness in sections is still challenging for hiking. Views are seen on much of the hike, mostly to the northwest.
