Mt. Wachusett & Wind mills
Mt. Wachusett & Wind Mills
Details
Starting at Stage Coach Trail head, this is the most popular trail head, we will head up to the windmills using a small side detour. then using another detour of the back side of the windmills take harrington traill to the top. this is the hardest part of the climb as it is the most direct route up. we will take breaks as needed playing mark-o Polo. After resting at the top we will head down to Pine hill trail to the bicentennial Trail joining up with the High meadow Trail and finally taking a 2nd break at Echo Lake. Upon leaving here we shall follow Echo Lake Road to Echo Lake Trail which will place us back at the Cars.
We will be meeting up at 0900HRs and heading out by 0920HRs
Total Distance: 4.06 miles
*** IF YOU HAVE PARKED MORE TOWARDS THE MIDSTATE / HARRINGTON TRAIL HEAD:
Here you can either walk back down Westminster road to you cars, or take the gravle road back to the windmills, the same side detour to Harrington, but instead of going up head down the trail and that will bring you to your cars as well.
If Taking the Trail back: 4.34 miles
**** Bring water and your own snacks, this is more of a enjoyable hike than a death march. Ill be at the trail head in my small black car with the kayaking roof rack. Ill have my camo water bag. off to the side looking like im wating for a massive group of ppl to show up. :)
