Let's continue our hiking series by going to Mount Tom in Western Mass to get some cool views!

/*** What will we be doing? ***/
This is a roughly6.5-mile hike (1,300 ft elevation) that should take around 3.5-4 hrs at a moderate pace of 2.5-3 mi/hr. We will have some breaks to take in the views, hydrate and grab a snack.
This is the route we will be taking.
After the hike, we can go to Fort Hill or New City breweries for a quick bite and a victory drink :)

/*** How to get there? ***/
Mount Tom is about 1.5 hrs away from Boston following I-90.
There is a parking lot at the start of the trailhead with a $5 fee per car.

If you are interested in carpooling and can make it to the Framingham area, shoot me a message.

/** What to bring? **/
At least 2 L of water
Hiking boots (There are some loose rocks and boots are preferred over sneakers)
Sunscreen
Some snacks

/*** Additional notes ***/
- Socializing is an important part of this group. We hike as a group; nobody gets left behind.
- Make sure that you are familiar with the plan before signing up, and remember that you are responsible for your own safety.
- If you want to speedrun it or don't feel comfortable with the route, this might not be the best group.
