Berlin Mountain
Williamstown, MA, and Petersburg, NY
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Old Williams College Ski Trail, about halfway to the Berlin Mtn. summit
Berlin Mountain offers views in almost every direction (slightly obscured to the north and west) and is accessible via trails in all directions. I took the old Williams College Ski Trail up from Massachusetts.
The trail starts off extremely steep and does not let up until about 2/3rds of the way up. Though not used anymore, the trail is still in fairly decent shape and is easily followed.
