Shaker Mountain
About
Shaker Mountain is a summit in western Massachusetts, about 4 miles from Pittsfield. Late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pittsfield show July highs around 79°F and September highs near 70°F with lows around 49°F. That station sits several hundred feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Shaker Mountain Trail lies about half a mile away, with the Griffin Trail and West Mountain Trail each roughly a mile off. For time on the water, Onota Lake is just over 3 miles away.
