Hiking at Wilson Mountain

It's a beautiful fall day in New England.  

Back in the day, Nick & I used to walk around Wilson Mountain Reservation in Dedham.  It's short loop around a hill (which I'm not sure why it is a mountain!).  Since we moved back, we haven't had a chance to take our fur-kid to one of our favorite spots.

But, today we had all the time in the world.  Copley trotted through the crunchy leaves with her nose to the ground taking in all the smells. 

The trail is nice and flat with a few small inclines.  It's a great spot for dogs of all ages including puppies and seniors.  They do ask that your dog be kept on a leash but noticed many well trained ones who weren't.    If you do go off-leash, make sure your dog has a good recall.  We did run in to several other dogs including a guy with three jet-black pugs that he shouted to "com'on laides."  (adorable!!)
