Walk with Colette to the south of Richmond Mountain Road in Lenox--across the street from where I normally park to do the Monks Pond loop.
I had explored that area a few days ago and mentioned the cairns in the brook that visitors to Kripalu have erected in the brook that drains Monk Pond.
It turns out, as we discovered during the hike, that the land is owned by the Berkshire Natural Resources Council and consists of some old forest with towering pine trees. I had run through the area some years ago, and it is a splendid area, albeit rather small.
I'm thinking of putting on a run in the area, and I would like to include this area, if at all possible as part of the route.
