Putney Woods, Saratoga Woods and Metcalf Trail System — Thursday, Dec. 31, 2020

New Years eve day we hiked Putney Trails for two hours, only went a couple of miles stopping to admire trees, mushrooms, etc. Muddy trails were to be expected this time of year with mountain bike and horse tracks making some pretty big ruts. We saw two groups: a mom with loud young girls (yikes!), and about 6 adults, all unmasked. I printed a trail map and we still got a little turned around. The Roller Coaster and Rocky Road trails had some steep inclines that were tricky in the rutted mud. Overall a nice hike, easy to get to with good parking. We plan to come back and explore the other areas.
