Wachusett Mountain, MA

Date Hiked: 10/15

Trails(s) Hiked: Balance Rock & Old Indian Trails

Total Distance: 3 miles?

Difficulty: Easy

Conditions: Cloudy, mostly dry trail

Special Required Equipment: None

We had pretty bad timing for this hike - just as we began our ascent, a large system of clouds moved over the area, making a previously clear and picturesque day not so clear and picturesque. We started at the ski area base and took a very leisurely stroll up the Balance Rock and Old Indian trails to the summit. Very crowded on the trails and the summit.
