Hidden Falls
Join me as we explore deep into the West Chesterfield watershed along the eastern edge of the Westfield River, where we will bushwhack through forest and along an old coach road to one of the prettiest waterfalls in Western Mass!
We'll have a chance to take a dip (if the water's deep enough at the falls - or at an alternative locale close by!) and eat lunch, before heading back to my house to sauna together.
Arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Please bring sensible hiking shoes, poles, water and a bag lunch, plus bathing suit and two towels for swimming/sauna.

Beaverpond Bushwhack
We'll walk from my home in West Chesterfield deep into the woods to old growth trees, giant glacial erratics, past natural springs, along ridgelines and beaver ponds - all within a one mile radius! Upon return, we will enjoy a sauna together to relax and recharge - OR if it's really hot, we will jump into a swimming hole along the brook!
Arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Please bring sensible hiking shoes, poles, water and a bag lunch, plus bathing suit and two towels for swimming/sauna.
