Trailheads on Reservation Road were very busy - busier at 2 PM than at 10:30 AM, but still plenty of cars in the morning. In the afternoon, the lines of cars reminded me of Franconia Notch or Appalachia. (OK, it wasn't quite that bad, but still.) |

Well, if not for COVID-19 I would've been at my cousin's wedding today, but since I suddenly got this free weekend I decided to do this old favorite. Trails were mostly dry, with no snow and hardly any ice on the trails. No traction is necessary anywhere. Plenty of other people on the trails and boulders, some of them observing social distancing and some... not.
Began the hike at 10:27, reached North Mountain at 11:12, reached Round Pond at 12:07, reached South Mountain at 12:50, had lunch there, got back to my car at 1:49. |
