Last week we traveled to Pergatory Chasm located in Sutton, Massachusettes (about a 40 minute drive from Providence). Only a couple turns off of highway 95, the State Reservation is very easy to find. Driving down the entrance road you can see huge rocks, almost mini-mountains rising out of the earth, very break taking. Steve and I parked in one of the last lots by the chasm, and set out on the closest trail (funny story about this later). The clearly marked trails snaked through the valley of rocks and trees. Traveling along the main trail, one can see several smaller paths which spread throughout the reservation and  rock formations which provide a spectacular backdrop to the hike. Every once and a while we would coast off the main trail to climb a few rock walls and follow some of the secondary paths.

Steve and I were so anxious to get on the trails, we didn't even realize we passed the actual chasm by the main entrance. After we finished the trail (and as the sun was setting) we found the chasm. The posted signs provided enough warning for us not to try and venture the chasm in the dark. We will hopefully be going back soon to get some good shots of the chasm itself, but the trails around the area are just as adventerous.
