| On Devil's Pulpit at the Chasm |
I was hoping to paddle today, but with the
temp’s dropping, there didn’t seem to be a trip. Instead, I did a hike with
Conrad, Bill and the Papa Joe hiking crew at the Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in
Sutton.
I came showshoeing here five years ago (almost
to the day – January 15, 2011) with the RICKA crew, and have come a couple of
times since with Michelle (mostly to stop at West End Creamery). The Chasm was formed
14,000 years ago when a mile-high glacier let loose a gush of
dammed-up water carving out the 70-foot-deep gorge.
We started with a loop around the Chasm on the
Charlie Loop Trail. From there we
bushwacked through the woods down to Purgatory Brook, and saw a couple of
pretty waterfalls before heading up the Forest Road Trail and Old Purgatory Trail into the Sutton
State Forest. We finished up with lunch at Stephanie’s in Grafton.
