Constitution Hill, located in Lanesborough got its name from a bonfire set ablaze on its summit to let the nearby towns know that Massachusetts had ratified the US constitution. The original ‘constitution oak’ has been replaced and a marker and quartz outcropping mark the summit. After traversing the hill, participants will hike the field trail that includes meadows and apple trees near the home of Josh Billings for whom the Berkshire triathlon is named. The trail is easy to moderate.
