About this Event
Difficulty: Moderate
Appropriate for: Anyone!
Leader: Hobbit (Al Walker)
About Hobbit: Hobbit is a tech geek and enthusiastic explorer of Boston-area parks, primarily North Shore but with occasional jaunts farther afield including the Whites. He is a member of Trustees, Mass Audubon, and several local Friends groups. His "home group" is the Friends of Harold Parker, and he can often be found leading their weekly Wednesday morning outings (plug!). His greatest enjoyment comes from the ever-changing "symphony of textures" underfoot across the four seasons, as well as contributing data to Open Streetmap and generally helping endorse and care for our precious outdoor resources.
About the hike: Let's get away from the traffic! This is an easy-to-intermediate wander around the western Fells, to enjoy some water views and be far away from any roads for a while. No street crossings and never too close to I-93, just late-Fall peace and quiet. Likely not much over 4 miles this time, without the usual scrambling up and down big rocks.
We'll meet at the "secret spot" turnaround at the end of North Border which Google semi-incorrectly identifies as "86 North Border Rd, Winchester, MA 01890" but makes Eventbrite place the parking in the right place. Drive all the way up the hill to the turnaround at the end! We'll start at noon for this one, to allow folks a little more time to get organized in the morning post-turkey.
