This sanctuary protects an extraordinary variety of wild native plants, among them 20 species of orchids and 30 species of ferns. Wildflowers, many of them rare, are at their best from May through September. High Ledges has an extensive trail system. The ledges, for which the site is named, offer a panoramic view of the Deerfield River valley and Mt. Greylock, the highest mountain peak in the state.
