SUMMARY:Guided Hike: Bee Hill and Flora's Glen via Fitch Trail
DESCRIPTION:Join Williamstown Rural Lands for a 4 mile hike overtop Bee Hill and down Flora’s Glen. \nWe’ll start at Sheep Hill in Williamstown with a climb up open fields to Bee Hill Road\, then through mixed woodlands on the Fitch Trail to the high point of Bee Hill\, passing some extraordinary old Sugar Maples along the way. Descend through hemlock groves to the RRR Brooks Trail\, returning along Flora’s Glen Brook to the remains of an old mill pond on Bee Hill Rd. \nThe trail starts in an open\, mowed field — the path is on grass to start — but most of the hike is in the woods on rooty\, rocky trails. Initial strenuous climbing leads to Bee Hill\, and a moderate descent returns us to Bee Hill Road. Much of the descent through Flora’s Glen features a narrow path with a steep drop-off to one side. \nRegistration required: learn more and sign up at the event website. \nWilliamstown Rural Lands is a non-profit\, member-supported land conservation trust. We conserve and promote the forests\, fields\, farms and natural habitats of our region for the benefit of our communities and future generations. \n

SUMMARY:Guided Hike: Solstice Evening Hike Down the Shepherd’s Well Trail
DESCRIPTION:Join Williamstown Rural Lands for a summer solstice hike! On this evening the sun will set at 8:36 pm. In the hour before sunset the light filters through the trees at a low angle intensifying colors. Clouds can turn subtle pink or orange. This hike passes through beautiful woods and offers some spectacular open views looking west or looking east towards Mount Greylock.\n\nExcept for a brief steep uphill beginning\, this 1.5 mile hike is one-way mostly downhill. We will meet at the large parking lot at Petersburg Pass on Route 2 just across the New York State border and shuttle some cars down to our ending point. Then we will hike north from Petersburg Pass along the Taconic Crest Trail and east down the Shepherd’s Well Trail. This hike is suitable for both experienced and inexperienced hikers who are confident walkers. We will take a leisurely pace\, stopping to admire the views\, and will finish just before dark. Wear sturdy shoes and pack a flashlight or headlamp in case you need it. Please leave your dog at home.\n\nRegistration required: learn more and sign up at the events website.

SUMMARY:Bidwell Outside the House Hike
DESCRIPTION:Western Mass Hilltown Hikers Group Hike \nBidwell Outside the House Hike \nApril 26th at 10:00 am (approximately 3.5 to 4 hours) \nParking:  100 Art School Road\, Monterey\, MA  01245 \nHike Rating: Easy to Moderate 3.5 miles loop with very little elevation \n  \nJoin local historian Rob Hoogs on a hike through 18th and 19th century history following the 1760’s colonial Royal Hemlock Road and visit several cellar holes and a charcoal hearth. We will also follow the beautiful Loom Brook and cross the Boston-Albany Post Road all while listening to the history of the land we are traveling.  The Bidwell House was built circa 1760 for the first minister of Township No. 1\, the Reverend Adonijah Bidwell (1716-1784). He arrived in 1750 to be the first minister of this frontier region\, which eventually became the towns of Monterey and Tyringham. The location of the house was the first town center of what was originally known as Housatonic Township No. 1. The Bidwell House was the parsonage\, and the first meeting house\, located at the crossroads of the Great Trail (the Boston-Albany Post Road) and Royal Hemlock Road\, was a short walk from the house. Rev. Bidwell farmed the property from 1750 to 1784. His eldest son\, Adonijah Bidwell Jr.\, developed the farm into a large and prosperous dairy farm\, expanding the landholdings and building a compound of barns and out-buildings. His tenure was 1784-1836. The grandson\, John Devotion Bidwell (1792-1867)\, continued to farm and also added a tanning yard.  Please Note:  Event does NOT include a tour of inside the house.

SUMMARY:Walks on Stone Hill: Beyond the Cows and the Art
DESCRIPTION:Come explore the other trails on Stone Hill\, in the wooded area beyond the iconic pasture and fancy fences. \nThis is a family and first-timer friendly hike/walk on the main routes in the Stone Hill trail network beyond the Clark Art Institute campus — but we will not ignore the famous panoramic views of Williamstown and the surrounding hills. \nOur route will cover the full range of hiking/walking opportunities available in the area\, so some folks might find short sections somewhat challenging for 15 minutes or so\, but most of the route will be on old roadbeds and fairly flat.  On most of the route the trail tread will have some uneven surfaces (the route is unpaved) and there will be some muddy/wet places and tree roots to walk over from time to time.  If you are a bit unsteady on your feet\, consider bringing a walking stick or hiking poles. \nOur pace will be slow\, and we’ll stop to chat and catch our breath. In all\, we’ll cover about 2 miles of the trail network and you can expect to spend about an hour and half in the woods and fields.  There are “bail out” options that offer a more direct path back to our starting point if your time is limited. \nRegistration required: learn more and sign up here at the event website.
