About This Trail

Imported description

The views from Two observation towers are great. The Saxon word for " rocky, hilly area" is "fells", and the route goes to the higerst points in this section of the reservation. The retreating glaciers caused a lot of marks on the rock. The two towers give a great view of Boston. You will pass over an old Soap Box Derby track and next to the Sheepfold, where sheep grazed for hundreds of years. A popular spot for dogs to run.
