Summary

The plan is to meet for lunch at the Littleton diner. Afterwards, we walk to the School st parking lot. From there we would pick up the Reservoir Rd Trail and connect with the Elm st trail. We ascend to Parker Mt, enjoying wonderful views of the woods, mountain and fields. We connect to the Main st trail, which then connects to the I-95 trail. We descend then cut across the Fly Bye trail back to the Elm st trail, then work our way back to the parking lot. The hike should take about 2 hrs, has 879ft elevation and is a little over 4 miles. We can then walk back to downtown for the Gathering of the Jack-o’-Lanterns festivities. Attached are links for the trail, downtown event and diner.

yes! Mo and I were in downtown Littleton a few days ago and there is a new bakery with great apple cider donuts!

1pm is fine. Looking forward to this. :)

Would it affect anyone if I move the event to 1PM instead of 12PM? If so, then I'll keep the time as it is.
