On August 5, 1850, Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne met and hiked to the top of Monument Mountain beginning what would be a long and close friendship. On that day, they also hiked Ice Glen, a small but stunning glacial ravine in Stockbridge.
Berkshire County Historical Society volunteers will lead a leisurely stroll through Laurel Park, across the Housatonic River, and up into the hills of Ice Glen walking through giant boulder fields and enjoying cool ravine scenery!
Adventurous hikers can venture into the boulders and crevices, while others can return for a leisurely walk along the river.
