UPDATE: In order to minimize trail impact (which is a state regulation), registration for the afternoon hike is now closed. However, we’ve added an earlier hike for you morning dwellers!

Location: Purgatory Chasm State Reservation
198 Purgatory Road
Sutton, MA. 01590

Travel:
This is a soft launch that will require attendees to make their own travel arrangements. In future years we hope to provide transportation.
Purgatory Chasm is 13.5 miles/20 minutes from the festival venue (The Raven) via the Worcester-Providence Turnpike (MA 146). Uber and Lyft can get you from Worcester to Purgatory Chasm; however, driver availability back to Worcester is scarce and there is no bus route. Plan accordingly.
Rules:
We strongly urge you to read the rules and note the recommendations posted by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation: https://www.mass.gov/doc/purgatory-chasm-state-reservation-suggested-hikes/download
