Hiking in Massachusetts mountains is like boating on the coast, it’s a must! The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail, referred to as the M&M Trail, is 114 miles long. The highest point on the trail is Mount Monadnock, which reaches 3,165 feet high. The trail is marked throughout, often indicating where alternate routes must be taken because of weather or changing conditions. The trail is maintained with the help of volunteers and is considered to be easy hiking in most areas. Of course, mountainous areas, like Mount Monadnock, is more challenging for novice hikers. Most wildlife is scarce on the trail, though you may spot skunks, raccoons, black bears, and dogs.
