Description: Join other folks in their 20s/30s/40s on a 3.4-mile hike in Pittsfield State Forest and Balance Rock State Park! We will climb around 440 feet and hike along the Balance Rock Trail to reach - wait for it - the Balance Rock! This is a unique geological feature that is quite the sight to behold! The terrain will be rocky and rooty at times, so closed-toed footwear is recommended. After the hike, folks who are interested in a bite to eat or a drink are welcome to join us at Zucchini's Restaurant in Pittsfield, MA. **** Mark Hawthorne (he/him): Mark lives in Lanesborough, MA and is a biking leader for the Western MA Chapter. When out of the saddle, Mark enjoys giving back to the community via volunteering with organizations in the Berkshires and serving on committees for the town of Lanesborough. Rosie Lacas (she/her): Rosie lives in Amherst, MA and is a hiking, biking, and social leader for the Western MA Chapter. She has special interests in plant and wildlife ecology and the history of rural New England. She is working on her NH48 and takes great joy in planning outdoor adventures. **** Stay Connected with Western MA 20s/30s! • Join our 20s/30s WhatsApp Community for upcoming events and informal meetups • Follow us on Instagram @AMCWesternMA20s30s We always welcome feedback on your experience with AMC Western MA 20s/30s.
