Mahanna Cobble Reserve Trailhead

"Difficult, steep hike to a beautiful vista. Rocky, uneven terrain similar to Monument Mountain. Starts in the Bosquet parking lot, up a grassy ski slope, and then through the forest. Easy to follow orange signs and blue blazes. 3.2 miles round trip."

"Well marked and maintained trails. There are some areas that the trail is dense when if you head up to the cobble rather than just exploring the ski slopes as some choose. Diverse life in the woods, newts, wildflowers.. truly rich and luscious. The small vista at the Mahanna cobble is really lovely, with a stone bench to relax and take it in. The view from the ski slopes is also really nice, it overlooks Pittsfield and is a nice spot to take in the evening as the sun sets. Some steep areas to climb/descend along the ski slopes."

"Nice grade to a pleasant view. A few muddy spots in the first third, then really nice through the woods. Can do a loop at the top but a few blazes on the "secret" trail were faint. Enjoyed it thoroughly. About 3.5-4 miles to the cobble and back."

"A fine easy going hike with a pretty rest point with a view. One thing...the Parking is a little tricky as there is no signage from the road. Basically, you pull in at the base of Bousquet and stay to the left. When you start to walk right up the ski slope you'll see the Orangish signage, and then the blue blazes. Quite easy to stay on trail."

"A fine example of a Berkshire hill climb, the Cobble Trail has about 800 feet of elevation, it is well marked, and there is a nice view when you get to the stone bench near the top. I like to go to the top, mosey towards the peak at Bousquet, which has an awesome view, and then double back to take the Secret Trail down. A 3 mile round trip."
