Peaked Mountain

Peaked Mountain in Monson, Massachusetts is a moderate 2 mile loop hike up to the summit of Peaked Mountain with amazing views of the surrounding hills and mountains. From the summit you can also see into the state of Connecticut.

This hike starts off at the parking lot for Peaked Mountain and follows Roslyn's Turnpike Trail all the way up the mountain. This recording heads left along the Bernie Ave Trail when you reach Junction #7 (red blazes) and continues to the right at Junction #8. Shortly after you'll reach the Summit Trail at Junction #9 which leads out to the lookout points.

From the summit you'll hike along a rocky trail that leads downhill to a few other lookout points before the trail heads back into the woods along the Valley View Trail. At mile 1.2 you'll reach the Valley View overlook with western and northern views of the area.

Hike for another 0.3 miles until you reach junction #7 again - take the Rosyln's Turnpike Trail back to parking to complete the 2 mile hike.
