Description

While relatively flat, the Norwottuck Rail Trail covers 22 miles out-and-back starting in Northampton, MA, passing through Hadley, Amherst, and South Amherst.

The start crosses the beautiful rail bridge in the Connecticut River Greenway State Park, with views of the Seven Sisters mountain range to the south throughout the trail. It's quiet, paved the whole way, and very enjoyable place to be.

It is only 375 metres high and can easily be climbed in an hour but it is steep and challenging enough to get the heart pumping and lungs puffing, after reach the Broga peak, you can continue to Gunung Tok Wan (675m) and Puncak 18 (809m).

The journey from bottom to Broga peak is about 1.7km, further up is Gunung Tok Wan another 3km and finally Puncak 18 (1.2 km more) which is 3 hills totally.
