 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
The annual Norfolk Hunt Club "fox-hunt" (which chases a faux fox) had gone over part of the Dover trails a few days before. 20 bloodhounds and 40 horses leave quite a track, and some of those trails had muddy stretches to begin with.
The CRLT directional pine-tree symbols were well-spotted throughout. |

 | Comments: |
Two-day hike in both directions. Check the Charles River Link website for a detailed Trail Guide with two maps. Don't miss the Babson Globe, by a .15-mile spur. With a car-spot, you could hike the 16 miles in a day, but keep in mind the vertical gain of over 2,000 feet. |
