In reply to Tonya. That's amazing! Proud of you. I ended up doing the trail in 2 different days because I only had 1 vehicle so had to turn around. It's an amazing trail but difficult.

Did the WHOLE Firey Gizzard trail on August 8,2025. We hit the trail at 8:30 am. Made steady progress throughout the day. Did not stop more than 10-15 minutes at a time. On the lower part of the trail, we averaged 1/2 a mile per hour bc of the rock scrambling,stairs and steep terrain. We ended up hiking 5 hours in the dark! Anyone who can do the lower part in 7 hrs (per the warning sign) must be younger have bionic legs and a light pack. Hiking sticks were my best friend, but remember not to grasp them hard and relax your hands & shoulders. We did not see any snakes. We did not get any insect bites,no ticks. We startled a deer in the dark and it almost ran over us, so make noise or tie a bell on you to alert the wildlife. We were a party of 3 and carried 4 gallons of water, a half a cup more than we needed Was in the mid 80’s. Take a printed map bc the map boxes at the trailhead are full of trash,not maps. When you get to dog hole trail spur, check ur time and energy. That’s the way to go if you are tired. The terrain after Dog Hole spur is harder if you stay on the FG. We started the trail at Firey Gizzard Rd and hiked to Foster Falls. We had cars at each end. We started at 8:30 am and finished at 3 am.Be ready. Get plenty of rest the day bf. I’m 65,female,5’7,140lbs,good hips (w 1 replacement last year) and good knees. I did it!

Treat this just like climbing a ladder, where your legs do virtually all of the work. Only use your hands for balance the vast majority of the time. You had your arms extended up while waiting to decide what to do for fairly long times at once, which will tire your arms out pretty quickly. When you are resting/deciding, keep your arms down at or below your shoulders to allow the blood to run into your arms and hands easier.

Planning a trip for late Nov / early Dec. Do you recommend the Boston City Go Pass if visiting in the winter? Are most of the attractions you guys went to open to the public? Any advice you have on visiting Boston in the winter is much appreciated!

In reply to Nancy. Hi! I didn't rent a car for the exact same reason. I chose a taxi driver and did tours.
