Bear Hill and Beyond!

Friends of the Fells

Join us for a longer and more vigorous hikes in the Fells!

Bear Hill Parking Lot

Difficulty: Moderate/DifficultAppropriate for: Avid and experienced hikersLeader: Hobbit (Al Walker)About Hobbit: Hobbit is a tech geek and enthusiastic explorer of Boston-area parks, primarily North Shore but with occasional jaunts farther afield including the Whites. He is a member of Trustees, Mass Audubon, and several local Friends groups. His &quot;home group&quot; is the Friends of Harold Parker, and he can often be found leading their weekly Wednesday morning outings (plug!). His greatest enjoyment comes from the ever-changing &quot;symphony of textures&quot; underfoot across the four seasons, as well as contributing data to Open Streetmap and generally helping care for our precious outdoor resources.About the hike: Another in a series of longer and more vigorous hikes in the Fells. We will begin with a blast straight up and over Bear Hill, and continue westward and around the big Winchester dam. Then, meander down the western shore, take an optional diversion out toward Long Pond depending on how people are feeling, and cut back east through Sheepfold to return via the Trestle and some interesting and less-traveled terrain right along the highway. This covers somewhere between 4 and 6 miles and about 800 feet of elevation, and may visit several rock outcrops over different bodies of water. Bring your usual water, bug repellent, and something for a lunch stop. Please park at the Bear Hill parking lot on Fallon Road.Steady rain cancels.Contact: friends@fells.org with questionsDogs: While we love experiencing the outdoors with our dogs, this program is not suitable for dogs.
