Notch Mountain
About
Notch Mountain is a summit in Massachusetts, about half a mile from the town of Northfield. For comfortable weather, September brings typical highs around 75°F and lows near 52°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Tully Lake. That station sits several hundred feet lower than the mountain, so expect cooler temperatures on top. Several trails lie within a couple of miles. The Notch Mountain Trail (Red) is about 1.5 miles away, with the Old Orchard Trail (Blue) and the Richardson Trail (Yellow) close by. Climbers can head to Pulpit Falls, about 1.3 miles away across the line in New Hampshire.
