Autumn Nature Walk at The Mount

Discover the ways that nature prepares for winter at this scenic walk along the trails at The Mount, Edith Wharton's historic estate. Borrow a pair of binoculars or bring your own to potentially see chickadees and chipmunks stockpiling food, woodpeckers excavating trees, ducks gathering in the wetlands adjoining Laurel Lake, and other signs of wildlife in the gardens, forests and meadows around the mansion. Learn about the fascinating history of the Berkshires as you explore the past, present and future of the beautiful trees on the property.

This walk will cover up to 1.2 miles of unsurfaced trail. The trail surface might be uneven or contain exposed tree roots and rocks. Recent weather might make the trail surface wet, muddy, or slippery. No public restrooms are available at The Mount at this time of year, so plan your trip accordingly.
