Mount Greylock Hikers Advised to Bring Extra Water

Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — Hikers and those planning to make the summit on Monday's annual Greylock Ramble should bring extra water with them.
 
Effective Thursday, hikers will not be able to refill water bottles at the summit of Mount Greylock because of water quality issues with the potable water tap. This is according to the state Department of Conservation and Recreation.
 
Potable water is available to visitors at the Mount Greylock State Reservation campground and visitor center, and bottled water is available for sale at Bascom Lodge at the summit of Mount Greylock. 
 
Hikers are advised to bring extra water for their hikes up and down the mountain, and to fill their water bottles at the visitors center if necessary. 
 
Important to note, Bascom Lodge will close for the season on Sunday, Oct. 23. Additionally, the road to the summit will close, and amenities and other services at the summit will conclude at the end of the season on Sunday, Oct. 30; however, the visitor's center remains open year round.

Letter: Christine Hoyt for Selectman

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Christine Hoyt is the only option for Adams.

Over the past few years, Christine Hoyt has consistently shown what real commitment to our town looks like. She puts in the time, does the work, and shows up for this community again and again. What stands out most to me is her attitude. She is unrelentingly positive, solutions-oriented, and focused on moving Adams forward.

Local leadership matters, and it requires collaboration, energy, and a genuine belief in the future of our town. Christine brings all of that and more. She works harder for Adams than anyone I've met, and it shows in everything she does.

At a time when it would be easy to fall into negativity, I truly believe we need leaders who are focused on progress, not division. Christine is exactly that kind of leader.

If you care about the direction of Adams, I hope you'll consider supporting Christine Hoyt for Board of Selectmen!
