Join MYA for a lovely last minute adventure hiking the quarry trail to the summit of Mount Waldo in it’s autumnal hues, eating yummy vegetarian food, heating up in the sauna, and sunset viewing as the gorgeous finale from the blueberry barrens…
Adventurers will meet up at The Old Quarry Trail at the end of the Mt. Waldo Road, we’ll follow the trail along the old railroad bed half a mile to the old quarry. Full of fall foliage and graffiti :) Fort Knox in Prospect was built with stone from this quarry.
We’ll continue our moderate hike from the quarry to the summit on a trail behind the north quarry face following the pink ribbons less than a mile and 1/2 to the summit with expansive views of the surrounding area. The trail follows the contours of the mountain, making an ascent over bare ledges through rich woods. Total distance is 3.5 miles round trip; adventurers will take their time soaking in the beauty.
Post hike we’ll head to Dedham for hearty vegetarian soup & dark chocolate for dessert before heading into the sauna. If you get too hot, feel free to jump in the pond! After changing back to cozy clothes we’ll head down the street to the blueberry barrens to watch the sun sink; the colors are sure to be absolutely lovely.
Don’t miss out on a fab hiking, sauna & sunset adventure on a sweet Sunday afternoon that turns to eve.
