 Looking down the trail from the western summit.
"People sometimes go to Lenox, or Stockbridge or Pittsfield, and imagine they have visited the hills of Berkshire. Now these are all very respectable towns, and quite worth going to see; but the supposition that one finds the Berkshire Hills within their borders is a very good joke indeed. One who has never seen the Deerfield Gorge or the Adams valley from Hoosac Mountain; who has never climbed to the top of Prospect, or of Bald Mountain, or Mount Hopkins or Greylock; who has never invaded the awful stillness of that sacred place, the Hopper, such a person should talk modestly of Berkshire scenery." - Washington Gladden
