Winter is a great time for hiking — or if the snow gets too deep–for snow shoeing. This last week I was lucky enough to squeeze in two wonderful hikes, Bear’s Den in New Salem and Doane’s Falls in Royalston. I have visited both these places often but never seen them as pretty as they are right now this winter.
A Winter Wonderland at Doane's Falls in Royalston, MA.
Both of these waterfalls are on Trustees of Reservations properties and easily accessible. The Trustees have a collection of wonderful properties all across Massachusetts to help both residents and visitors enjoy the Massachusetts landscape.
January is a great time to come out and enjoy a little winter wonderland right here in Central Massachusetts. Nothing is more refreshing than spending a day outside and then coming in to sit by the fire and enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail.
If you decide to hike either Bear’s Den or Doane’s falls this winter, The Inn at Clamber Hill offers Romantic Winter Weekend Packages from November through April.
