Walk to Kimball’s, buy ice cream, and eat it at leisure at a picnic table or on the grass. 10:45 AM: Walk 2.8 miles to Great Brook Farm Ice Cream via Cutter’s Ridge, Heartbreak Ridge, and Pine Point Loop trails, arriving around 12:30 PM. Buy ice cream and relax on the grassy hillside by the pond. 1 PM: Leave Great Brook and walk 3.5 miles back to the Carlisle School parking lot via Fern Loop, Old Morse Road, and Conant Land trails. 3 PM: Return to Carlisle School parking lot. Spot a car or meet at Great Brook Farm to do only half the walk.
