The Appalachian trail goes right by it and they have a lodge with a restaurant and rooms for an overnight stay.
I stopped at Jones Nose ( A favorite blueberry picking site) on the way up and also at a turnout with a fantastic view of New Ashford, MA.
The tower has a spiral staircase and you can walk to the top and be rewarded with fantastic views if the weather is clear.
The Albany,NY. TV station has a tower at the summit. It has been replaced at least twice as it comes down when they have real bad ice storms.
I went down the back way into North Adams,MA. and then rode up to Rutland,VT. I gassed up in Rutland and then headed back South. I stopped on the way and watched a horse show. ( Jumpers) and then continued on to Bennington,VT. the home of Hemmings Motor News. They still have a full service gas station,(check your oil?)
They have a real nice museum there of old cars, trucks and fire engines. Also free pop corn. Every other Thursday in the summer months they have a car show with over 200 cars showing up.
I was invited to go on a bike run out of Pownal,VT. last Sunday, but I already had a breakfast planned. It was a benefit ride put on by the Pownal Rescue Squad.The weather is suppose to be nice again tomorrow so maybe another ride is in the making.
Till I get more news.. Adios

Yeah, sure, NOW the road is open. They didn't care that we wanted to go up it two years ago!
WOW, 3400' is almost nose bleed territory. = )
Glad you are having a good time.
I thank you again for sharing your visit to the Berkshire Hills and surrounding area. My son who still lives in Pittsfield, says it has been a really rainy summer. He is looking for Noah's Ark to sail by soon. He works at Papa Gino's on the Mass Pike (Lee). If you are out and about, stop in and ask for Todd.
