Shelburne, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Heading up the trail to the Massaemett Mountain summit
The first hike of the day was Massaemett. Starting at the water tank road, there was an inch or two of wet, new snow. Reaching the summit, the views were good, though not far reaching due to isolated rain showers.
For the descent, the new snow was continuing to melt, revealing some bare ground.
