“My name is Matt Darcy, I’m a Boston-based photographer, often wandering around the trails throughout the New England region. In the most recent years, I’ve thru-hiked the Midstate Trail, tackled the Presidential Traverse in two days, and speaking of the White Mountains – only have 14 of the NH48 remaining. Let’s go for a hike”

About the Experience
Matt and John (A FBH Staff Member) will guide you on a scenic hike while sharing expert photography tips and techniques. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, this is a great opportunity to learn from a pro in a fun, relaxed environment.

Start & Finish at Widowmaker Brewery
We’ll kick off and wrap up our adventure at Widowmaker Brewery, so you’ll have the chance to enjoy one of their delicious craft beers afterward.

Bonus: Did you know that Friends of the Blue Hills hosts an annual photo contest? This hike could be the perfect opportunity to learn how to capture that winning shot or at least practice for it! Check it out HERE!
