Watch the full moon rise from atop Crag Mountain, then descend to Emery Farm for refreshments. This moderately strenuous hike, led by GLT board member Dave Emery and his wife (GLT property steward) Jenny, will take us from the GLT’s Seth and Lucy Holcombe Preserve on Silver Street to the top of Crag Mountain for a 4:37 p.m. moonrise, then down to Emery Farm on Loomis Street.
We will park at Emery Farm, be shuttled to the Holcombe Preserve, and end our hike back at Emery Farm for refreshments and holiday cheer. The Emerys are very good friends to the Land Trust and a portion of Emery Farm is preserved forever through a GLT conservation easement. No dogs, please. Headlamps encouraged.
