Marlborough Man

Visited a couple of nature preserves in New Marlborough, MA with Benny today. First stop was Dry Hill. In addition to the lower loop trail, there is a newer trail that we followed to the summit of Dry Hill. It is a gradual climb most of the way until the final short steep climb near the top. There were quartzite ledges on the south face with some decent views.  Walked a bit over 2.5 miles with 200 feet of climbing.

Next stop was Questing Preserve. Followed the entrance road/trail and then the loop trail around Leffingwell Hill. Added another 2.0 miles with 300 feet of climbing. Had a very sunny, but cold day for our walks in the Berkshires. Seems too early to be seeing snow on the ground.
