I guess it's the Clark Art Institute, not Museum.
===Ide===
Clockwise: Run down Water Street for about a mile and a half until you see Ide on the right side of the road. Go up the hill and follow the road until it intersects another road in a T at the bottom of the hill; turn right and go past the edge of the golf course, until it takes you past the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]] and finally to the traffic circle to find you back at campus.
Counter-clockwise: Go to the traffic circle and turn left, towards [[Garfield House|Garfield]] and the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]]. Follow this road until you see Ide going up a steep hill on your left, and then when you intersect Rt. 43 at the bottom of a hill in a T, turn left and end up on Water Street.
Distance: 3 miles
===Gale===
Clockwise: Run down Water Street for about a mile and a half until you see Gale on the right side of the road, about 100 meters after Ide. Go up the hill and follow the road past the edge of the golf course, until it takes you past the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]] and finally to the traffic circle to find you back at campus.
Counter-clockwise: Go to the traffic circle and turn left, towards [[Garfield House|Garfield]] and the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]]. Follow this road past the golf course, up a hill and down the other side, and then when you intersect Rt. 43 in a T, turn left and end up on Water Street.
Distance: 3.2 miles
===Gale-Blair===
Go up Rt. 2 to the traffic circle and turn left, towards [[Garfield House|Garfield]] and the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]]. Follow this road past the golf course, up a hill and down the other side, and then when you intersect Rt. 43 in a T, turn right and follow it for about half a mile, until you see Blair Road on your left. Blair is paved for about 100 meters, then turns into dirt and goes up three hills in a row, culminating in a gorgeous view across fields to the beautiful mountains and the little college in the valley. Then it's all downhill. When you meet Rt. 2 in a T, turn left, which will bring you right back to campus. Fun fact: [[Diana Davis]] once did this run three times in a row, without stopping.
Distance: 6.5 miles
===Stone Hill===
Go down Water Street for about two miles until you see a steep road called Scott Hill Road on your right. Go up the hill and after a few hundred meters you will see a road to your right. This turns into dirt and becomes more like a trail. Follow this road until you get to [[Stone Bench]]. Then either go straight or turn left; both ways take you down the hill with the cows to the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]]. '''Remember to latch the gates behind you.''' Turn left out of the Clark driveway, which will take you to the traffic circle and back to campus.
Distance: 7.5 miles (?)
===Bee Hill - Stone Hill===
Follow Rt. 7 south for about half a mile until you see Bee Hill Road, a dirt road going uphill on the right. Go up, up, up Bee Hill (the hill is about a mile long, and quite steep). At the top of the hill, go straight across and down the trail on the other side (Old Bee Hill Rd: once a part of the Boston-Albany Turnpike, though upkeep on it by the town stopped in the 80's, and it has been returning to nature ever since). Take this for about a mile until you get to Berlin Mtn. Rd.; turn left (downhill) and follow Hemlock Brook down the mountain until you reach Oblong. Take a right here, go past the Novitiate Carmelite, and then a left onto Woodcock Rd. Follow this across Rt. 43, up Scott Hill Rd, and then a left onto Stone Hill Rd. at the top. At the top of the hill this turns into more of a trail than a road (although this is more of the previously mentioned Boston-Albany Turnpike). Follow the trail until you get to [[Stone Bench]]. Then either go straight or turn left; both ways take you down the hill with the cows to the [[Clark Art MuseumInstitute|Clark]]. '''Remember to latch the gates behind you.''' Turn left out of the Clark driveway, which will take you to the traffic circle and back to campus.
