The Middlesex Fells Reservation is only a few miles outside of Boston, and contains some amazing hiking. The Skyline Loop Trail is 7.7 miles with 900' of elevation gain, and we will get to experience great views of Boston and hopefully still some lingering foliage!
We will leave Cambridge at 9am, and return in the early afternoon.
Weather is expected to be in the 40-50s as of the 10-day forecast, but may be colder so make sure you have enough warm clothing.
If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the lottery preferences on your MITOC profile to show this.
There will be a mandatory pre-trip Zoom meeting on Thursday 11/16 at 8pm to finalize logistics and ask any questions. Please let us know ahead of time if you will be unable to attend, or you will be bumped off the trip.
