Hike of Wells State ParkSturbridge, MASeptember 17, 2006 |
The view of the forest below from the top of Carpenter's Rocks was the highlight of our hike of Wells State Park.
Our six mile jaunt covered everything from hilltop vistas to swampy stream beds and pondside trails.
It was the perfect way to spend a warm, summer-like Sunday afternoon. |
In fact, it would have even been a good day for a swim - but we left that to the
frogs we met in Mill Pond. |
As we continued along the Mill Pond Trail, we came upon this funky looking stone honeycomb thing over a stream...
whatever it's supposed to be.
|
Carpenter's Rocks marked the approximate midpoint of our hike. Katie, Meredith and Alec enjoy the view while Juliana peeks over the rock ledge at the ground below (waay below). |
Our whole group... at the top of Carpenter's Rocks.

Near the end of the hike, our route brought us down to the banks of Walker Pond. Katie, Rick and Juliana relax at the water's edge.
