About

PERCHED ATOP THE SUMMIT OF THE STATE'S HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, BASCOM LODGE CROWNS THE CENTERPIECE OF A 12,500 ACRE WILDERNESS PARK. BUILT IN THE DEPTHS OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION, BY VOLUNTEERS IN THE CIVILIAN CONSERVATION CORPS., THE LODGE WAS DESIGNED IN AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE THAT WOULD LATER BECOME AN INSPIRATION FOR MANY OF AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARK BUILDINGS. CONSTRUCTED OF LOCAL STONE, QUARRIED FROM THE MOUNTAIN, AND OLD GROWTH RED SPRUCE TIMBERS, HARVESTED FROM THE SLOPES OF "THE HOPPER," THE LODGE, AS WE SEE IT TODAY, OPENED IT'S DOORS IN 1937.

BASCOM LODGE IS NAMED IN HONOR OF JOHN BASCOM, PROFESSOR OF RHETORIC AT WILLIAMS COLLEGE, PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, THE RESERVATION'S FIRST COMMISSIONER, THE NAMESAKE OF THE WORLD WAR II "LIBERTY SHIP" THE S. S. JOHN BASCOM, AN ARDENT PROPONENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LODGE BEFITTING THE GRANDEUR OF THE MOUNTAIN.

ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO PROVIDE HEARTY SOULS IN SEARCH OF ADVENTURE AND SPIRITUAL RENEWAL WITH A PLACE TO REST AND TAKE SHELTER FROM THE ELEMENTS, TODAY THE LODGE SERVES A MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND DIVERSE ARRAY OF PATRONS WHOSE NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS GO BEYOND MERE ROOM AND BOARD. WHETHER THEY ARE HIKERS OR CYCLISTS OUT FOR THE DAY, LODGERS ATTENDING A MUSIC CONCERT OR SUMMER STOCK THEATER, SCHOOL CHILDREN ON A FIELD TRIP, OR "HOLIDAY MAKERS" VISITING THE BERKSHIRES FOR THE FIRST TIME, BASCOM PROVIDES A CASUAL SETTING TO REFRESH THE SPIRIT AND NOURISH THE BODY.

VIEW FROM THE SUMMIT

THE MOUNTAIN

ESTABLISHED IN 1898, THE RESERVATION WAS THE FIRST LAND PRESERVED-IN-TRUST BY THE STATE FOR THE CITIZENS OF MASSACHUSETTS AS A WILDERNESS PARK; THE FLAGSHIP PROPERTY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND RECREATION.

AT AN ELEVATION OF 3,491 FEET, GREYLOCK DOMINATES THE SURROUNDING LANDSCAPE, "A MONARCH AMONG IT'S FELLOWS." HOME TO THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT BOREAL FOREST IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, THE SUMMIT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "A CANADIAN ISLAND IN AN ALLEGHENY SEA." CHANGES IN WEATHER PATTERNS, TEMPERATURE, GEOLOGY, AND PLANT DIVERSITY ENCOUNTERED WHILE ASCENDING THE MOUNTAIN FROM THE TOWN OF ADAMS, UP IT'S NEAR VERTICAL EASTERN FACE, ARE COMPARABLE TO WHAT ONE MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE WALKING FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO CANADA.

TOWERING OVER THE HOOSAC VALLEY, THE MOUNTAIN'S SUMMIT AFFORDS VISITORS TO THE PARK 90-MILE VISTAS OF FOUR STATES AND FIVE MOUNTAIN RANGES. WITH OVER 70 MILES OF WOODLAND TRAILS, INCLUDING AN 11.5 MILE SECTION OF THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL, PASSING WITHIN A FEW YARDS OF THE LODGE'S FRONT DOOR, THE RESERVATION ENABLES GUESTS ACCESS TO A DIVERSE ARRAY OF OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES. WHETHER IT IS A STRENUOUS CLIMB UP THE MOUNTAIN'S EASTERN FACE OR A GENTLE WALK THROUGH A SPRAWLING CLIFF-TOP LOW BUSH BLUEBERRY PATCH, THE PARK'S MANY TRAILS AND VARYING TERRAINS PROVIDE FOR AN ENDLESS VARIETY OF ADVENTURES THAT CHANGE FROM SEASON-TO-SEASON AND DAY-TO-DAY.

SO, WHETHER YOU ARE COMING TO THE BERKSHIRES TO HIKE WITHIN THE RESERVATION, WHITE WATER RAFT ON THE DEERFIELD RIVER, SPEND AN ADVENTUROUS WEEKEND IN THE TREES AT RAMBLE WILD, CATCH AN EXHIBIT AT MassMOCA, OR TAKE IN ONE OF THE DOZENS OF MUSIC, DANCE, OR THEATER FESTIVALS HELD IN THE COUNTY EACH SEASON, BASCOM IS THE PLACE TO STAY BECAUSE, IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER . . .
