      High Ledges

      A Popular Hike

      Offering unparalleled views to the west, these trails through Audubon-protected woods on Mt. Massamet are a must for photographers and lovers of sunsets. The main trail is well-cleared and suitable for families and casual strolls. There are quite a few narrower more demanding hiking trails off to the sides.

      From Route 2 (Mohawk Trail), turn onto Little Mohawk Road in Shelburne, then follow the signs to the Audubon Society High Ledges Sanctuary.
