Fantastic loop trail in the Middlesex Fells. This is probably the most common big-loop trail on the reservation. It starts off a little rocky with some good quick climbs but turns more into small rollers and a nice pine section off of the northern section of trail where you can get some good strides in before getting hilly and rocky once again. Take in the views of the city when you can and enjoy the water views as you pass them. Follow the Blue Line and White Line trail markers when Blue isn't present.
