About this event

Update (Friday afternoon): Rain is in the forecast, but it looks like it will only be scattered showers during the hike. The hike will go on as planned - see you at 1:00!
Easy afternoon hike in the Middlesex Fells Reservation North of Boston A co-event with Chiltern Mountain Club (also LGBTQ), this will be an easy 2.5 mile hike @ 1:30pm (for us night owls). We’ll be going in from the West in Winchester at Gate 16. It’s less well known then the entrances near I-93, but it’ll be quieter and the parking looks more guaranteed. It’s mostly a loop on hiking trails, with parts on fire roads. Gaia says the elevation change is 77ft. If people want to go for a coffee afterwards there are places nearby in Winchester. Anything more then a drizzle will cancel. If there’s a rain date I’ll post it later. Middlesex Fells Reservation info (and pdf trail map) - https://www.mass.gov/locations/middlesex-fells-reservation (We’ll be on the Skyline and Reservoir trails to the west of the Middle Reservoir.) If you have questions, message me here or post in the comments. :) Meeting: Meet to the left of the gate. I’ll wear a beige Yosemite cap. (I'll be driving a silver Camry.)

A heads up - the hike is on as planned. (Meet at 1:00 at the gate.)

Watching WBZ’s forecast, it’ll be rainier in the morning but by the afternoon it’ll be overcast with only a chance of a shower - nothing serious.

Hope to see everyone!
