| moneal | Route Climbed: Drive Up Date Climbed: May 29, 2005  | |
| http://statehighpoint.home.comcast.net/ma.html We summitted Massachusetts over Memorial Day weekend. I'm never overly found of these popular drive up highpoints but it was OK. | |

| An easy & pleasant hike, great for beginners. My 2000 trip was memorable for a severe thunderstorm. See the journal from my 2000 trip | |

| Nice hike, a bit much pavement near the top. Visability was bad near the summit, but it was fun anyhow. Looks like a good place to work up winter camping skills when its really cold cause its not that hard. | ||

| Brian Jenkins | Route Climbed: Roaring Brook/Hopper Trail Date Climbed: October 9, 2004 | |
| Climbed with Flanders on our annual trip. Great trail and hike on Roaring Brook but was a bit congested with tourons from the campsite on up. Glad to tick this one off as we'd been talking about it for a couple years now. Interesting to note that nothing has changed in the route description or conditions of the trail and roads from a 1975 hiking book we used on this one. Was bummed I had forgotten my camera for this one. | |

| dspal | Route Climbed: Hopper trail both times Date Climbed: July 1999 and January 2001 | |
| Hot and muggy in the summer, freezing and snowy in the winter...nice trail up and down, few people on this trail, great views both summer and winter--expect high winds in winter and bring snowshoes!! | |

| hgrapid | Route Climbed: Cheshire Harbor Trail Date Climbed: 5/29/04 | |
| If you are a 48 or 50 completer with highpoints, you should be required to hike this. If you can climb Denali, you can climb Greylock! Nice views, though the summit was way to big and the lookout tower sucks. | |

| WhereAmI | Route Climbed: Haley Farm Trail Date Climbed: January 2, 2004 | |
| My first state highpoint. Snowshoed part of the way even though it was mostly ice covered by a miniscule amount of fresh snow. Once on the road we slipped around quite a bit and used the snowshoes to act as crampons. We probably looked ridiculous. Nice to be here in the winter cause we didn't see one other person on the peak, but the famed views of 5 states wasn't much more than a lot of gray fog. | |

| Bagged this state highpoint as a drive up, at 11:00 PM. Mountain was completely fogged-in. It was a challenge staying on the road up to the summit, even at 5 mph. | |

| fox5659 | Route Climbed: AT Date Climbed: Easter Weekend 1999 | |
| Climbed this with my sons, a friend named Dan and my dog. We were told by day hikers on Saturday that the temperature dropped to 15 degrees on the mountain Friday night. It was a rough night sleeping. | |

| climber46 | Route Climbed: can' remember but it was from the East Date Climbed: June 10, 2001 | |
| A nice easy climb. the bugs were not too bad and the views from the top were fairly good, but other peaks in the Northeast have more of a backcountry feel. | |

| big_g | Route Climbed: AT Date Climbed: May 27, 2000 | |
| Hit this on my 2000 AT thruhike and chatted up some motorcycle climbers reading the AT plaque. They'll have some good stories of the dirty backpacker they met. | |

| mpyle | Route Climbed: AT from Adams Date Climbed: Summer 1996 | |
| Pleasant enough hike, but sucks being on a mountain where 99% of the people drove to the top. | |

| Weekend Warrior | Route Climbed: Appalachian Trail - Notch Rd in Cheshire to summit Date Climbed: June 2001 | |
| Trip was moderate for the most part. Northern section of AT heading south over Mts. Williams, Fitch & Greylock was much steeper and energy consuming. Trail northbound seemed longer (9 mi one way), but much easier on the feet. Limited views until nearing summit area. Still a godd mountain to start the hiking season off with. | ||
