Purgatory Chasm is a natural feature that draws thousands of visitors to Sutton, Massachusetts each year. In essence it is a deep glacial cleft carved into the earth that you can walk through. There are massive piles of rocks to climb over, as well as 80 foot tall cliffs on either side when you're down in its depths. The walk through its center can be fairly challenging, while there are more gentle walking trails along either side.
