Saturday May 30, 2015 Worcester Mountain by Phyllis Rubenstein and Charlene Bohl

Nine of us hiked 2.6 miles to the summit of Worcester Mountain on Saturday, May 30, 2015. The hike offers a moderate, then steeper ascent with a final ascent over a rocky outcropping with a large vein of white quartz. Some of us continued on a short bit to get the feel of the Skyline Trail which heads south to Hogback and Hunger Mountains. The day was warm with a possibility of afternoon thunderstorms. The woods were loaded with spring wild flowers and black flies!
