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.
The trail down Horace's Grove
Initially, my plan was to hike Negus Mountain shortly after lunch. Work interfered and by the time I was able to start hiking, I only had an hour or so of sunlight left.
The extreme cold weather over the past few days had frozen up the Mohawk trail, making it easier to hike in some respects (no mud) but more difficult in other respects (more ice from frozen run off). Nonetheless, it was a nice, brisk, sunny hike.
