Mt. Holyoke – Dry Brook/M&M Trails – 4.3 miles

First off I want to say that I find it odd that the last two hikes I have been on are 4.3 miles.  Kinda strange.   This hike starts off at the parking lot near the gate of the road that leads to the Holyoke summit house. 

After I quick walk down a dirt road you turn on to the M&M trail (white blaze).  Today we hiked this loop counterclockwise but either way make for a nice hike.  Decided to take the Dry Brook trail (red blaze) to the summit where you will meet up with the M&M trail (white blaze) for the hike back to the lot.  At the summit you will find the Summit House. At the house you have wonderful 360° views.  Also at the summit you will find picnic tables, cooking grills, and a memorial for the B-24 that crashed here in 1944.  Mt. Holyoke is the end of the seven sisters range and is a mountain full of history.

Today we found three geocaches, one on the way up, one on the way down, and one just off the parking area.  One cache we could not find.
