Option #1 - If you want to drive to the summit, watch for the Mount Greylock Reservation and Visitor signs on the right of Route 7, two miles north of Lanesboro. Turn right at North Main St., the visitor center is on the right just before entering the gates to the reservation where you can obtain maps and trail information. Continue on Rockwell Rd. for 9 miles to the summit.
Option #2 - If you want to hike the Hopper Trails (explained in the route pages to the left), you will stay on Route 7, to the West of Greylock.
Option #3 - If you want to hike the Cheshire Harbor Trail or the Thunderbolt Ski Trail (explained below), then head east from Lanesboro to the town of Berkshire, and get on Route 8, to the east of Greylock. Go North to find the trailheads about 8 miles up the road in Adams (elevation 799 feet).
FROM NEW YORK
To get to Lanesboro from the New York State Thruway (I-87), get off at I-90, and follow it to 90 West towards Albany until you hit Route 20 East. Take that into Massachusetts until you hit Route 7.
To get to Lanesboro from the Taconic Parkway in New York, take it to I-90, and follow I-90 East to exit#2 in Lee. Follow Rt. 20 to Rt. 7, pass Pittsfield, and go another 6 miles.
FROM MASSACHUSETTS
If you want to take the MASS PIKE, take it to exit #2 in Lee. Follow Rt. 20 to Rt. 7, pass Pittsfield, and go another 6 miles to Lanesboro.
To take a scenic (and more direct route) from Boston, take Route 2 across the state. It is about 130 miles to North Adams, but is more scenic than the MASS PIKE. From North Adams, you can travel South on Route 7 or Route 8 for whichever trail you want to hike.
