Watatic and Nutting Hill

Chris Hiker on Watacic

On my way out of New Hampshire, I stopped here for a quick hike.  With only a 300 foot gain in elevation and easy access, Watacic provides a nice reward for seriously little effort.

From the parking lot on Route 119, I took the southern terminus of the Wapack Trail to the summits of Watacic and Nutting Hill. The Wapack Trail runs for over 20 miles to North Pack Monadnock in New Hampshire.  I then took a short bushwack following a rock wall to the high point of Middlesex County in Massachusetts.  Through the haze, I could make out some of the skyscrapers of Boston in the distance from the summit of Watacic.  Otherwise, the views encompassed never ending forested rolling hills.
Nice easy walk in the woods

Boston somewhere in that haze
