Going hiking with the Outing Club? Bring a friend! Seems that's just what Savannah decided to do. Our highly animated group begins its hike along the Mountain Rd Trail, parallel to the Walker Pond shoreline. |

Gorgeous views of the pond awaited us.

Lilia, Marie and Nikala spend a moment in the sun while Savannah is off hugging trees. 
|
Eliana and Yousra ascend the Mountain Road trail as it loops back toward higher ground.
We then followed the South Trail to Carpenter's Rocks and were rewarded with a spectacular panoramic fall foliage view of the valley below. |

Roisin is perched on Carpenter's Rocks, enjoying the view. At the northern edge, we had a nice distant view of Mt. Wachusett about 25 miles away. 
|
Marie, Lilia, Nikala, and Savannah chill out on Carpenter's Rocks. It was a cool spot to meditate too! Nikala guided us
through a nice meditation called breathe coherence, accompanied by the relaxing sound of breeze blowing through the
treetops. |
Our whole group up at Carpenter's Rocks.

Marie and Nikala hike down the path from from Carpenter's Rocks. Along the way, the blue sky through a thinning autumn canopy afforded us some very beautiful scenery. |
|
| As we conclude our hike, Savannah finds a big fuzzy caterpillar crossing the road. We named him Wilson! Eliana, Yousra, and Nikaila take turns petting it before saying goodbye and returning it to the woods. |
