Tough enough for experienced climbers, but with opportunities for beginners — the formidable face of Crow Hill has it all. Within the scenic 4300 acres of the Leominster State Forest, just minutes away from Route 2, near the area’s iconic Wachusett Mountain, is one of the best-known rock-climbing destinations in Massachusetts: the sheer face of Crow Hill.

All Aboard! Next stop: ski country. From Monday through Friday, trains operated by the Massachusetts Bay Trans-portation Authority — the MBTA—carry commuters eastward from North Central Massachusetts to Boston-area jobs. But on weekends, commuters swap their briefcases for ski gear and ride the rails westward for some fun and relaxation.

If you’ve been sitting in the car too long, watching great New England scenery roll by, you’ll welcome an opportunity to stretch your legs and see some of that scenery up close and personal.

Close to Home. You take it all in. There is a 38,000-square-foot lodge that features a cafeteria, a restaurant and a retail shop. You have a room booked up the road at the Inn, but you notice a whole lot of space for the day-tripper, along with a huge rental shop.
