Mount Greylock is a 3,489-foot (1,063-meter) mountain located in the northwest corner of Massachusetts and is the highest point in the state. Its summit is in the western part of the town of Adams (near its border with Williamstown) in Berkshire County. Geologically, Mount Greylock is part of the Taconic Mountains, which are not associated with the abutting Berkshire Mountains to the east. The mountain is known for its expansive views encompassing five states and the only taiga-boreal forest in the state. A seasonal automobile road (open annually from late May through November 1) climbs to the summit, topped by a 93-foot-high (28 m) lighthouse-like Massachusetts Veterans War Memorial Tower. A network of hiking trails traverses the mountain, including the Appalachian Trail. Mount Greylock S

  • Der Mount Greylock ist mit 3.491 ft (1.064,1 m) die höchste natürliche Erhebung im Bundesstaat Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten. Er gehört geologisch zu den im Nordwesten von Massachusetts, wird aber üblicherweise mit den südlich angrenzenden Berkshire Mountains in Verbindung gebracht. Auf dem Gipfel befindet sich ein 1931/32 errichteter, 28 Meter hoher leuchtturmähnlicher Gedenkturm für Massachusetts’ Kriegsveteranen seit dem Ersten Weltkrieg. Der Berg ist vor allem bekannt für die Aussicht vom Gipfel, von wo aus bei gutem Wetter fünf Bundesstaaten zu sehen sind. Zudem gedeiht auf seinen Hängen der einzige Boreale Nadelwald in Massachusetts. Zu den Wanderwegen rund um den Mount Greylock gehört auch ein Teilstück des Appalachian Trail. 1898 wurde das Schutzgebiet gegründet. Der 1.200 Acres (4,9 km²) umfassende Mount Greylock Summit Historic District am Gipfel des Bergs wurde am 20. April 1998 unter der Nummer 98000349 als Historic District in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. (de)

  • Il monte Greylock è il punto più elevato (1064 m) dello Stato USA del Massachusetts. È situato 8 km a sud/sud-ovest di North Adams, sulle Berkshire Hills. I visitatori possono accedere tramite una strada o, se si tratta di escursionisti, il Sentiero degli Appalachi fino alla cima, dove sorge una torre-faro di granito alta 28 m costruita nel 1932 come memoriale per le vittime della guerra. La cima, pianeggiante, ricade entro i confini della Mount Greylock State Reservation ed è popolare presso gli amanti degli sport invernali. Il Bascom Lodge (1937), posto sulla sommità, è aperto in estate ed autunno. Il nome Greylock è quello di un capo indiano della tribù dei Waranoke vissuto ai primi del XVIII secolo. (it)
  • Грейлок (англ. Mount Greylock) — гора в хребте Беркширы в округе Беркшир на западе штата Массачусетс. Высота горы 1064 м над уровнем моря — это самая высокая точка штата и хребта Беркширы. Гора представляет собой возвышенность размерами приблизительно 18 на 7 км с несколькими вершинами: Маунт-Грэйлок (1064 м), Сэддл-Болл (990 м), Маунт-Фитч (948 м), Маунт-Уильямс (899 м), Маунт-Проспект (820 м), Стоуни-Ледж (780 м), Рэггед (771 м). На склонах горы расположена тайга, где распространены ель красная (Picea rubens) и пихта бальзамическая (Abies balsamea). Гора не представляет сложности для покорения — есть автодорога, множество троп. На вершине горы расположена башня-маяк в память ветеранов войны высотой 28 м. Гора находится на известной Аппалачской тропе — популярном туристическом маршруте. (ru)
