Wachusett: Echo Lake, High Meadow, Jack Frost, Mountain House - Leisurely Pace

Let’s go back to Wachusett! Disclaimer: I haven’t done elevation in a while as I’m been recovering, so it may be slow going. Anyone who wants to ease in to hiking a mountain may want to jump in on this hike! This route is 2.7 miles to the summit and back, according to All Trails. So it’s a short distance and we’ll go at a pace comfortable for everyone in the group. No one gets left behind!

We’ll chill at the summit for a snack and to enjoy the view. The ending time is not guaranteed. It’s just a guess.

This is a mountain, so even though most snow and ice is melted around our towns, it’s possible there’s still some on the mountain. Comments from 3 weeks ago said spikes were required the whole way. There are no comments more recent than that.

Bring water, snacks, and an adventurous attitude! Remember, I'm not a trained guide. I'm just a girl who likes to hike, but doesn't want to hike alone! LOL I also am doing my part to get people of color together and out on the trails!
