HIKING GREYLOCK IN SNOW: MASSACHUSETTS’ TALLEST MOUNTAIN | CHESHIRE HARBOR TRAIL + APPALACHIAN TRAIL

This video details our day hike to the summit of Mount Greylock on the Appalachian Trail via Cheshire Harbor Trail. Greylock is located just outside of North Adams, Massachusetts and is the tallest mountain summit in the state. It was a beautiful and chilly hike, with temperatures at the trailhead at 28 degrees F. The summit of the mountain had temperatures of approximately 18 degrees Fahrenheit. The trail was pretty icy, so our advice for anyone wanting to replicate our footsteps to bring added foot traction (Kahtoola Microspikes). While we didn’t utilize our Microspikes, we would’ve needed them had we not bushwhacked off trail to avoid the slippery spots on the trail. We walked 6.3 miles today and hiked from 11:30 - 4:30 pm. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- Bud’s gear: Clothing worn or used: Tracksmith Varsity beanie Tracksmith Twilight Tee Smartwool 250 wt hoody Patagonia R1 hoody Arc’Teryx Zeta SL Mountain Hardwear nylon pants Injinji socks + thin Smartwool socks Danner Mountain 600 Insulated Outdoor Research Alti Mittens REI gloves Blaze orange safety vest from Amazon Backpack: Pa’Lante Packs V2 Simple Pack Aly’s gear: Clothing worn or used: Smartwool 250 wt hoody Patagonia R1 Enlightened Equipment Torrid APEX jacket Injinji + Smartwool socks Norrona Trollveggen hard shell jacket Smartwool 250 wt leggings Danner Mountain 600 boots Zpacks fleece mittens Montbell orange vest Smartwool beanie Burton glove liners Backpack: Hyperlite Mountain Gear Windrider 2400 #hiking #palante_v2 #mt_greylock
