Hike Mt. Wachusett with our MathAltitude family on Monday, October 13th. It is a day off for most school children, and a great time of year to see some beautiful foliage views. We will stop at Rota Spring Farm (http://www.rotaspringfarm.com/ for ice cream afterward. Families, siblings, and friends are welcome. Hope you can join us. We always have a great time!RSVP: If you did not have a chance to RSVP yet, but want to join us, please call 860-375-3276. We will be glad if you join us.

๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น:
The Pine Hill Trail is a relatively quick hike from the Visitor Center. It is nicely marked. It is rocky and steep at several points. When we are hiking there, we see very young kids hiking there along with their parents. The Old Indian Trail is not as wide as Pine Hill, but is also not difficult to navigate with children. Please keep in mind that because of the rain both trails can be slippery. We can use Summit Road in this case.
