Drove to Ward Reservation parking lot on Prospect road in Andover. It's just off of Rt-125. Sheila and I went in her car and we met up with our friend Nick. Headed up the yellow trail to the summit where there is a fire tower and a solstice circle. I got a great pic of Sheila standing at the center appealing to the Sun God! LOL Beautiful view of Boston skyline from summit and several view spots along the trail. Took the red loop trail back to the parking lot. Missed a turn and ended up with a short road walk back to the parking lot. A 3.32 mile loop.
