It rises 3491 feet into the heavens.

Vistas from its top, on a clear day, are breathtaking.
When there's fog, however, driving up the mountain is scary, at best.
On a recent trip there, a brave friend and I ventured up to the top in very heavy fog.
She drove because I wouldn't have gotten behind the wheel of a car for all the tea in China.
It felt like being in the Twilight Zone.
Here is a shot of Bascom Lodge where we had lunch. We were the only ones in the dining room.
The big tower at the top was shrouded in sheets of white fog.
Look at these sweet daisies who didn't seem to mind the fog at all!
I was glad when we got down to the bottom of Mt. Greylock and hope to go again on a sunny day!

I have been to Mt. Greylock many times...was in a car accident there which left my youngest sister with a permanent scare on her face....horrible memories...don't think I would want to go there in the fog...no no no....You took some great pictures.
Loved your foggy pictures!! That type of surroundings, is the BEST for your face!! All that moist air doesn't dry out your face!! British women have few if any wrinkles due to the moist foggy air!!
I have traveled to the top of a mountain in foggy weather. It is super scary but gorgeous also!
Hello from Spain: in my city in fog can not see anything. I have not visited any mountain in bad weather. That mountain of your country's great .. Keep in touch
Lovely pictures, Susan. Yes, I've been to the top of a mountain in foggy weather. The Great Smoky Mountains give lots of opportunity for that.
My grandparents lived over a mountain and we had to go through fog, ice, sleet, snow, you name it. But worth the trip.
Just like yours seemed to be too. Loved the photos!
Happy 4th

Susan,
This is interesting and dark! I grew up by the Rocky Mountains. And remember the intrigue and power of mountains and fog.

This was some heavy fog! Glad you got lunch out anyway!
No mountain...but I love to have been with you and your friends...I love the fog.
That sounds like quite the adventure! We've driven to the top of many mountains, but none in the fog that I recall.
Happy 4th! :)
You two were brave souls. Beautiful photos.
yes,w e did! Just two weeks ago, when heading towards hills for our anniversary celebration. It was raining too. brrr... but I loved it!
I liked the Bascom Lodge's shape sin the fog.. mysterious!
I have Susan and I have to tell you I really didn't like it - scared me to death! olo sbnadie
Fog always adds a little atmosphere. But as you say, sometimes it can be a bit scary.
