The beginning of the trail winds around a development for awhile and goes by a couple woods roads. Be careful to follow the blue blazes and not the old roads. Eventually, the trail makes a steady ascent.
Signs are placed in various locations by the Williamstown Rural Land Foundation.
A view to the west from Pine Cobble toward Mt. Raimer and Berlin Mountain.
A view a little farther north toward the Hoosic River Valley and Route 346.
A view to the east toward North Adams. Spruce Hill, another great hiking desitination, is in the distance.
A very interesting collection of rock art along the trail.
Another view toward the Taconic Range from the trail.
Eventually, you will reach the junction with the Appalachian Trail.
This is the Massachusetts-Vermont border. Welcome signs are posted by both states here.
