In the farthest reaches of Western Massachusetts, Monument Mountain is a nice hike with many views from the trail along its ridge.
The trail is wooded throughout with multiple lookout points along the spine of the mountain. If you venture into some of these nooks and crannies along the top, you just might find a birds eye view of Devils Pulpit and the surrounding area.
There are a couple ways up and around this mountain. You can do a loop or two or you could come back down the way you came. The trails are pretty throughout even in April before the green of the broadleaves have fully sprouted for the year.
South of Interstate 90, parking is available at the trailhead. The hike won’t take all day and is great, if you want to get out of the interior for a bit and into the great outdoors. View a trail map.
