The Eyrie House Ruins Trail is a 2.4 mile out-and-back hike up to the hotel ruins of the Eyrie House and the summit of Mount Nonotuck in the Mount Tom Reservation in Massachusetts. Follow the M & M trail (white blazes) from the trailhead listed on the map to the access road. Once you reach the access road follow it up the mountain and it will lead to a lookout and the entrance the Eyrie House Ruins. Continue following the trail and it will bring you to the summit of Mount Nonotuck.
The Eyrie House was a hotel that burned to the ground in 1901, but was a popular destination in the 1880's up until the fire. All that's left now is the ruins of the old hotels, but this is a really awesome hike and a hidden gem in western Massachusetts.
