Those who wish to embark on outdoor adventures of a more athletic nature should make a beeline for the Olivia ’ s Overlook trails on Richmond Mountain Road . Located at the heart of the 734- acre Yokun Ridge Reserve , this six-mile hiking trail system is named after Olivia Stokes Hatch , who ( along with her brothers Anson Phelps Stokes , Jr . and Isaac N . P , Stokes ) donated the land for public use in the 1970s . The land was the first area owned by the Berkshires Natural Resources Council , which laid the foundation for their future conservation efforts . The Charcoal Trail section features views of Monument Mountain , Richmond , and West Stockbridge . It connects with the Brothers Trail , which leads to Old Baldhead Road and Monks Pond . The Burbank Trail is located directly across from Olivia ’ s Overlook . Visitors who hike the Burbank Trail will come across two historic farm homestead sites , as well as the remnants of stone walls . Pine , oak , sassafras , and tulip poplar trees line the trails , and Yokun Ridge is also a well-known habitat for barred owls .
