At 2000+ feet in elevation, Wachusett Mountain, in Princeton, MA, provides a perfect viewing spot for fall foliage. We visited on a beautiful fall afternoon when sugar maples were ablaze. The bright sunlight displayed oak trees’ reds and bronze foliage to their best advantage.

We are in the beginning stages of another Easy Walks in … trail guide, which will encompass the Berkshires.

Steel rails remain in the parking area next to the trail

A remnant of the railroad that used to travel here is visible in the parking area next to the trailhead.
