The Long Mountain Trail at the Mount Holyoke Range State Park in Granby, MA, is a moderate 2 mile out-and-back hike from Mt Harris Rd up to the summit of Long Mountain.
Follow the M & M trail (white blazes) from the parking lot. The hike is uphill almost throughout the entire hike. Just before the last climb to the summit of Long Mountain, the trail climbs a steep set of stairs, which can be iced over during the winter or slippery after a rainfall, so watch your step.
The lookout is on the far end which leads
on to the notch visitors center. The lookout is not cut out from the trees very well, so you get better views during the colder months when the leaves aren't on the trees.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
