Beginner Winter Hike with Rosa

Beginner hikers welcome! Join the Friends of the Blue Hills on a 4-mile hike with moderate hills.

Depending on the weather, trails may be slippery. If there is snow or ice, please wear microspikes on your shoes (available online or at sporting stores).  If you have hiking poles, please bring them.

You must be comfortable walking a comparable distance. Be prepared to step over tree roots and some rocks. Sturdy walking shoes required. Dress in layers for the weather. Inclement weather will cancel. Group size will be limited to 25. Bring at least 1 liter of water and a snack. We start as a group and end as a group; nobody is left behind. No children under 12 and no pets, please.

    I signed up for the hike but my name might show up twice. I had a problem trying to change my email to the one Friends of the Blue Hills use.

    Hi,
    Will you be having shorter hikes? I am a beginner beginner.This may be a duplicate but last year you had some really nice beginner hikes.

      Cheryl, what length would be comfortable for you?

        Hi, possibly 2-3 mile hike not to many hills. There are a few of us who would like shorter hikes we are seniors.
        Thank you

        Great! We’ll check with our leaders about future hikes.
