On Sunday, September 7, Ramblin’ with the Rav takes on Mt. Greylock via the Bellows Pipe & Gould Trails. This strenuous climb and descent total 7+ miles, 2200 vertical feet, and will take about five hours. Participants will climb up Thoreau’s favorite Bellows Pipe Trail, enjoy the summit, and then descend the curvy, heavily wooded Gould Trail. This is a steep, relentless, and rewarding ascent - shorter than climbing the mountain from the Williamstown side but still demanding. It is suitable only for people with strong knees, ankles, and hearts, and some confidence on the trail. Leashed dogs accustomed to long hikes are welcome. Participants should register in advance at www.knessetisrael.org/rsvp. Plan to meet at KI at 10 a.m. to carpool or at the trailhead at Greylock Glen around 10:40.
