Mount Wachusett Halloween HikePrinceton, MAOctober 31, 2004 |
Wachusett Mountain State Reservation is one of the most popular hiking spots in central Massachusetts.
The mountain's 2006 foot peak is the highest point in Massachusetts east of the Berkshires.
Despite this busy mountain's roads and ski slopes which intersect the
trails (and its parking lot on top), it still affords some very nice hiking.
