I went to Rocky Narrows. This area is another property owned by the Trustees of the Reservation. This is one of their more popular properties. I figured that Christmas would be a good day to go hoping it wouldn't be very crowded. When I got there, only one other car was in the lot. However, by the time I got back to my car, the lot was full. a lot of people were on the trail enjoying a beautiful day. Almost all of them were wearing brand shiny new hiking boots.
Rocky Narrows is very large. There are miles of trails. My goal were the two views of the Charles River. I did a big loop that lasted a couple hours. The scenery was nice and you actually can get far enough from the road that you can get the deep woods feel. For maps, they are posted at the trailhead along with pamphlets that contain a map, or you can download it from the Trustess website.

The river in the picture is the Charles |
At 60 degrees I knew there wouldn't be any ice in the swamps or vernal pools |
There were quite a few of cars in the lot when I got back to the lot |
