OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) Joint Hike

Wednesday, September 2 at 9:30 a.m.
The Boulders, Pittsfield/Dalton

The Boulders is a 645-acre oasis tucked between Pittsfield, Dalton, and Cheshire. Owned by the Crane family for more than a century, its six-miles of trails wind through diverse ecosystems. Participants on this hike will take the Blue Trail to the Boulders at the top of the reserve where they will see the quartzite boulders for which the reserve is named. Beautiful views to the east and south, are the reward for the moderate ascent and descent on a forest road once used by cars to visit this Berkshire destination. Today, hikers see the mixed hardwood forest close up including oaks, maples, black cherry, hemlocks and white pines.

Directions to the trailhead and additional information about the hike are at https://www.bnrc.org/reserves/the-boulders
