August 8, 2020Awesome trail
August 8, 2020August 7, 2020Nice loop with good views from the top. Ascent has some nice steeps, but it's not a sustained climb. Maybe 40 minutes with a half dozen steep sections and then other more moderate sections. Descent via Nutting Hill is very mellow. Some loose rocks so good hiking shoes are recommended. You can do the whole loop in about 2-2.5 hours without rushing.
August 3, 2020July 24, 2020July 18, 2020great trail. Misty showers all the way up...and rain and no view at the top due to clouds and fog, but that's the kind of day that it was. Roots were slick. Certainly intend to do it again in sun and less humidity. Really cool looking multi-trunked pines on the left going up. Watch for them. And a big, split boulder that you and walk right through....
July 18, 2020July 14, 2020Nice short hike with great views. Lots of loose rocks.
July 4, 2020Great hiking trail, and great view However, parking is very limited. DO NOT park on the side of Rte 119. I got a $25 parking ticket today, which doesn't make sense at all!
June 30, 2020Spectacular view at the top. Worth the hike. Its very steep in some areas, and its pretty buggy. Bring bug spray. Its also very rocky.
June 9, 2020June 4, 2020Stunning view. So many trails. Less trails than Wachusett but better views than Wachusett.
May 31, 2020Great hike ! Moderately difficult. slightly rocky. Small spots to scramble. Well worth the effort. Very packed trails with tons of groups and families and pups. Parking was difficult for a Sunday at 10 am.
May 24, 2020Beautiful. Able to see Boston skyline on a clear day.
May 24, 2020May 22, 2020May 21, 2020This was a Great little hike! Parking can be difficult with a few more spots down the road. We went up the trail near the other parking which went straight up and took about 20 mins then came back down. I couldn’t find a trail name for this part, but it was steep and quick. We then walked along the road and went up the trails near the main entrance. This little Mountain has some fantastic views and I really enjoyed it!
May 20, 2020Great quick hike for something to do and you can’t beat the view!
May 6, 2020May 3, 2020Fun and nice hike and can be done in an afternoon. Not very difficult not very steep. Nice views at the top! Often able to see Boston. Done Watatic many times in my life during many seasons with many different people
May 3, 2020Gorgeous - running water and ponds all around. Quite muddy in spots and you do need to step on rocks/wood bridges to cross streams, but beautiful. Breezy, but beware of annoying bugs. Amazing views!
