Spring has arrived and we've been aching to get out and walk in the woods but most of the places we enjoy walking have been quite wet (she writes, while listening to the pouring rain on the skylight). How do we solve this problem? Hike up, woman! Hike up Petticoat Hill to be specific.
Petticoat Hill is a Trustees of Reservations property in Williamsburg, MA. It's about a ten-minute drive from our house. The summit trail is moderately steep for the first 10 minutes or so. Once you've arrived at the summit, which is a little disappointing since there's no view, the trail meets up with Locke's Loop trail. Locke's Loop, is, well, a loop trail. It's a nice amble through the woods. The whole loop trail, including the summit trail takes about an hour. We know this because the first time we hiked it last week we heard the clock in the village ring 3 o'clock shortly after we started and then 4 o'clock when we were just about finishing up. We enjoyed the hike so much on Tuesday that we went back on Thursday. I think it's getting added to our list of favorite places to hike.
