Mt. Tom North Trailhead Park

An accessible Easthampton gateway to the Mount Tom range, opened in 2022, with a level crushed-stone path to a restored meadow and valley views — built so the mountain is reachable for a wider range of visitors.

Last checked Type Park
Best Use

Fall in western Massachusetts

Choose the Berkshires when the foliage itself is the trip: the state's highest terrain around Mount Greylock colors ahead of the valleys and delivers the big summit-and-hill-town weekend. Choose the Pioneer Valley when you want color plus an easy college-town evening - Northampton and Amherst nights with accessible valley viewpoints like Mt. Tom minutes away. Higher, more northern terrain turns first, the valley floor follows, so pick the base by week and check the state's live foliage reporting rather than trusting a fixed calendar date.
