Mount Greylock

 mountain, mountaintop, National Natural Landmark

Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts at 3,491 ft. (1,064m) elevation, rising from an average base elevation of 1,200 ft. (366m), and contained within Mount Greylock State Reservation (12,500 acres). Although geologically part of the Taconic Mountains, Mount Greylock is commonly associated with the adjacent Berkshire Hills to the east. Visit: www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/western/mgry.htm

Mount Greylock is home to three separate stands of undisturbed old growth red spruce trees. Located on the mountain's northwest slopes, these stands have been undisturbed since at least the turn of the 19th century, and may be virgin. No other old growth red spruce stands are known in southern New England, while only a few comparable or better sites occur in northern New England. These portions of the mountain are designated a National Natural Landmark.
