The View From This Little-Known Overlook In Massachusetts Is Almost Too Beautiful For Words
We all know that Massachusetts is a stunning state. From the beaches along the coast through the breathtaking Berkshires, there’s so much beauty to take in. And what better way to see the beauty around the state than to hike to an overlook. But if you want to beat the crowds and hike to a little-known overlook in Massachusetts, there is one at a Mass Audubon refuge we think you might like.
Part of the Mass Audubon, the 855-acre High Ledges Wildlife Sanctuary in Shelburne Falls offers five miles of trails and scenic views from the ledges.
The five-mile High Ledges Outer Loop and Shelburne Fire Tower trails are quite scenic. You can see wildflowers along the way in the spring and summer, plenty of wildlife, and eventually incredible vistas.
The trails are quite rugged along this moderately-traveled route, but they are well-maintained. They are also rated as moderately difficult, so be prepared and wear a sturdy pair of hiking shoes or boots.

I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I've worked in the entertainment industry for much of my adult life and I love photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world! Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream.
