Orange you Glad ...

Friends of the Fells

End of North Border Road

Difficulty: Moderate/DifficultAppropriate for: Anyone comfortable with 6 miles over varied terrainLeader: 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 "home group" 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 "symphony of textures" underfoot across the four seasons, as well as contributing data to Open Streetmap and generally helping endorse and care for our precious outdoor resources.About the hike: (Short notice posting!)While Sean's full Skyline loops are pretty vigorous, it's not the only loop trail in the Fells! As an alternative, let's perambulate around Reservoir Trail, aka the orange one on <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/middlesex-fells-reservation-trail-map/download" title="https://www.mass.gov/doc/middlesex-fells-reservation-trail-map/download" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the map</a>. It's not as long as Skyline, only 5 or 6 miles worth but offers its share of interesting sections, and we can make a quick stop at the old Silver Mine site too.Meet at the "secret spot" turnaround at the end of North Border Road, reached via Chisholm Road off Forest St in Winchester. There is usually ample parking space there, and the trail is a short distance in. We can then vote on which direction to do the loop in!
