June 14, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Tuesday, June 14, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Join Berkshire Natural Resources Council (BNRC) in hiking the southern section of The High Road on Yokun Ridge. They’ll begin the hike at the designated High Road parking area at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. From there, you’ll venture through the apple orchard and into the forest. After crossing Richmond Mountain Road, you’ll hike up Old Baldhead Road to Monks Pond and connect to the Burbank Trail. The Burbank Trail offers a western-facing vista where we will enjoy lunch. From there, you’ll follow the Burbank Trail to Olivia’s Overlook, another popular scenic vista, and connect to the Brothers Trail. The stone staircases and hemlock forests of the Brothers Trail will lead back to our starting point at Kripalu.
The High Road, a long-term initiative to make connections from towns to trails and along clusters of conservation land, allowing hikers to explore the scenic Berkshires. Yokun Ridge is the first High Road route to open connecting Pittsfield to Lenox. For current route information visit bnrc.org/the-high-road.
