Life goes on - Wachusett Mountain
The highest point in Worcester County is about 15 miles north of our house. Wachusett appears to be the "nearby" ski hill to Boston, which means it's close to Boston, but maybe not the best resort out there. Anyway, it's still summer (but the unbearable heat had mostly broken), and we needed to get out and explore our new environs. We parked in a parking lot at the bottom and headed up a classic New England trail-rocky and steep. Pleasant enough, and the views from the top (ignoring the parking lot we were standing in) were very nice. We could see the Boston skyline to the east, Mt Monadnock in New Hampshire to the north, and the Berkshires to the west. We decided to head down the road rather than bust up our knees on the rocky trail.
