The Hike
Another chilly school hike! The main goal was to clean up some of the trail that I was missing in the Western Chicktawbut area. I parked at my least favorite parking area at the junction of Chicktawbut Road and MA-28, and got started. I first followed the Pipe Line all the way to the Savoy Path, cleaning up some smaller trails in the area en route. I was greatful to be doing this in the winter, as the Pipe Line is notoriously flooded, and I could hear the ice crunching beneath my feet.
I then hiked toward 3044 on the Hawk Hill Path, where there was a surpise view to the south. I continued on to hit the Streamside Edge Path and the Branch Path, making a mini loop, before headed to 3155 to do a quick out-and-back on Lee Path. The hike ended by heading back to the car on the Braintree Pass Path the whole way. Overall an uneventful hike, but happy to have accomplished it!
