LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: MODERATE
4-mile hike with moderate hills, rocky terrain and some larger obstacles.
A hike through the Friends of the Blue Hills offers a serene escape into nature not too far from the city. The trails wind through the Blue Hills Reservation, which is home to a variety of terrain, from easy paths to more challenging climbs. In spring, you’ll see new growth along the trail—tender green leaves on the trees and early wildflowers starting to bloom. The air is fresh, and the gentle sounds of birds and rustling leaves surround you. A perfect way to enjoy the quiet rejuvenation of spring while staying close to the city!
This hike will be meeting in the Houghton’s Pond parking by the Kiosk!
