Hidden Gem Hike with Melissa @ Buck Hill, Blue Hills Reservation | Milton | Massachusetts | United States
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: MODERATE
Join us for a hike up the north side of Buck Hill on a path you may never have traveled before.
We’ll park roadside at the Buck Hill Path trailhead (marker 2164) and get onto Buck Hill Summit Trail at marker 2153. Then it’s a gradual uphill trek that takes a hard left onto more of a switchback all the way to the summit. Then we’ll come down at marker 2165 and turn left onto Buck Hill Path for an easy downhill back to parking.
This will be about a 1.5 mile loop with a stop at the Buck Hill summit to take in the spectacular views and have a little snack.
