Moderate hike on the West Side of Wachusett Mountain in Princeton, MA. Less crowded than other main trails until you combine with Old Indian Trail to reach the summit. Many choices for returning to car.

We saw occasional trillium still in bloom. The forest is “spring loaded ” to bloom. This is a less traveled trail on the less hiked west side of the mountain.
