This hike will take us on a 3 mile loop over Mt. Watatic and around the back side of the mountain. The elevation is 1832 feet with a 650 foot climb. There is an excellent view to the East and South from the summit. This is usually a chilly peak, so please be prepared to dress very warmly.

Traction; microspikes may be needed, but I will advice during the week of the event. This is a well travelled trail, so snowshoes are very unlikely unless we get dumped on with snow right before the hike.

The parking lot for Mt. Watatic is off Rt. 119  on the north side of the road behind a gate (Route 119 forks off of the Concord Rotary to the northwest for anyone comming from the Boston area).

Trailhead located 1.7 Miles south of the NH/MA line on 119 and 1.4 miles north of the intersection of Rt 101 in Ashburnham, MA

Just before the entrance comming from either direction, there is a sign saying "mid state trail"
