SUMMARY: Join us for a fall hike on Mount Wachusett in Princeton, MA. This gem of Central Massachusetts has an observation tower that allows views all the way to Boston on clear days. Our route brings us around to the north side of the mountain, passing by two wind turbines and a patch of old-growth forest. We will have lunch at the summit before descending to the parking lot via the short Pine Hill Trail. It will be about 5 miles with 1,200' of elevation gain. We should finish around 12:30-1pm. This time of year should be right around peak foliage in the area. I hope you can join us!
