Pine Hill, Wenepoykin Hill
Medford, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Skyline Trail on Pine Hill
Route: Herd path, Quarry Road, Skyline Trail, Cross Fells Trail, Red Cross Path, Middle Road
Quick jog in the southern Middlesex Fells.
Trails were generally dry with occasional minor frost-melt mud and a few tiny patches of ice. Nice views from Wright Tower on Pine Hill and on Wenepoykin with the leaves down. Highly recommend having a map handy (had one saved on my phone), as there are all sorts of trails and junctions.
