9.4 miles; Sharon & Easton, MA It worked out that I was able to hike today with my new friend that I made last week! We hiked the rest of Moose Hill Sanctuary, then along the shores of a beautiful lake, and then the gorgeous Borderlands State Park. This was another stellar section of the […]

7.15 miles; Ashland and Sherborn, MA Nothing much to recommend this section, either. Mostly road. Decidedly urban hiking with little woods sections between cul-de-sacs. Then a long walk on a busy road. Only redeeming feature? A Dunkin’ Donuts along the route. Hope this trail gets better soon… The first part of this hike was actually […]

7.6 miles; Lowell, Chelmsford, and Westford, MA Again with the Rails-to-Trails! So this section was pretty boring. It was a 7-mile-long paved bike trail built on the bed of old New Haven Railroad Framingham & Lowell line. I saw my first BCT blaze since Andover, one of only 2 total. And the BCT breaks at […]
