Savoy Path is an easy out-and-back hike in Massachusetts, about a mile from North Randolph. The route is short, about 1.4 miles in length, and rises about 220 feet from the trailhead to a high point of 427 feet. That makes the total climb roughly 369 feet round trip, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.56 miles in, where the grade reaches 13 percent. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 67°F in May to about 82°F in July, with September easing back to around 73°F. The hike takes about half an hour to complete, and the trail is close to other outings. Red Dot Loop is less than a mile away, and mountain bikers can ride Dark Hollow Path at under a mile. Climbers will find Rattlesnake Rocks about 2 miles off, and the East Branch Neponset River is a little under 6 miles away for paddling.
