Weather permitting, please join us for hiking 6-8-ish miles of out-and-back loop-de-loop trails at Bearsden Conservation Area in Athol, MA: "Ten miles of trails crisscrossing 1,568 acres of forest, some climbing hills with wonderful views of the Millers River and of mountains near and far; some leading down to the river itself; some, like those that parallel stone walls and traverse a cut through rock ledge, revealing human history."

Visit the website above for more information, including directions and a trail maps. Note that hunting is not permitted on Sundays in Massachusetts, but it wouldn’t hurt to attach a bright orange cloth to your backpack at this time of year.

**NOTE: We’ll meet across the street in the parking lot of Athol Hospital - so if you're looking at the front of the hospital from the street, we'll be in the lot on the right hand side. From there, we'll caravan to one of the parking lots in Bearsden to begin our hike.**

Please dress appropriately for the day's weather (no jeans! no sneakers!) and bring water, snacks, lunch, head lamp, tick repellent, hiking poles if you use'em.

Adults only; no pets of any kind; sun sets at 4:22 pm.
