IN THE BERKSHIRES
Park in Trustees of Reservations parking lot off Route 7 and walk south on blazed Indian Monument Trail over relatively level but rugged terrain about one-eighth mile. Trail becomes woods road as it circles base of mountain and heads north. Watch on right for stone wall perpendicular to road. About 50 paces ahead is another stone wall on left. Look behind and under large stone at southern end of this wall.
If you like scenic vistas, continue on to top of mountain. On a picnic excursion here in August 1850, authors Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne met and struck up a friendship.
