The Start of My State High Point Journey
At 3,491 feet, Mount Greylock is the highest point in Massachusetts, ranking #31 among U.S. state high points and marking my first official summit in the journey to visit the highest point in every U.S. state and the District of Columbia.
Located in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, Mount Greylock stands apart from many state high points in that it’s a true hike—and, on a clear day, offers views into five states. I tackled this inaugural summit alongside my sister, Vicki, making it an especially memorable start to the adventure.
