Deborah DaSilva Family and Friends...discovery of things unseen..freedom to run...the best memory is sharing the joy and wonder with my children...seeing them curious and amazed and observant of all that lies before...hearing them yell "mom"! come see this!
Irene Meaney When the children were little, every Fall we'd all hike to the observatory, up Big Blue, usually on Columbus Day. My husband would always carry the youngest on his back. The stubborn 2 - 3 year old daughter decided that she no long needed help & was going to hike up & then down under own steam to be just like her brother. Red -faced, proud & independent but good. 😊
Daniel P. B. Smith Don't forget the ski slope... we spent some time with our kids on the ski slope, and then a few years later spend time with our son and daughter-in-law AND grandkids. My son was a snowboard instructor at Blue Hills for several years, and the day he came home wearing his official instructor's pin for the first time was a proud day for him.
Melissa Wright That time when John Donovan fell and sprained his ankle and I had to drag him a quarter mile out of the woods

Jennifer Manning All the time! We will be there tomorrow. It's our favorite summer spot!!
Amy Litchfield-Kennedy It's nice, but I wish it went further out for swimming. I'm tall!

Joey Tammaro Evans You bet ya. As a child. As a young father. As a healthy adult. And as a semi-creaky old fart..
Robert Machado I favor the off the beaten path trails. My all time favorite has to be the (now closed) Hemlock Bound Trail. The Great Dome Trail is another favorite. It used to be Orange Blazed and much longer than the currently named version of this trail. I'm thinking this is how I found the Hemlock Bound Trail back in the day but I'm fuzzy on that. I also love the trailhead on Wood Road in Braintree. For training its usually the North South Skyline loop. We like to start at different trailheads and link to the loop. Like Dunks on 138 in Canton, or the Museum Parking lot further down on 138. I've taken recently to parking on the West end of Houghtons Pond and looping around to the HQ and then starting the Skyline loop.

Wish I Had Explored it More
Isaiah Rosenberg Does the boardwalk count as a trail? If yes that one 😊
Deborah Mason I haven’t been in a while, but it was always Skyline for me
Ilya Bass Skyline! It literally takes my breath away ;-p
Cheryl Messier Coblazo My favorite is the Skyline Trail, end to end. Challenging, beautiful, and rewarding.
Noel Thubten McKenna The blue trail ❤️
Sue Graceffa Krim Skyline!
Russell Polsgrove Madden Rd
Eileen Mc Neil I climbed this trail with my dog for years
Dorothy Demeke ❤️❤️❤️
Martha Regan Gorgeous!
Deb Goeschel I love so many trails and recently (since I've moved to Randolph), I've been able to explore beyond the Skyline trail (which is a fave, but often crowded.) I've been enjoying the Hancock Hill Path and the Jeffries trail and Eustis Trail, but also love the Skyline over on the Braintree side, and enjoy the Sassaman Notch Path and a couple of the unnamed trails going from the Bouncing Brook Path up to the Skyline trail.
Russell Polsgrove I always recommend Boardwalk & Buck Hill to newcomers. Boardwalk cause it's unique and Buck Hill for the 360° views.
Karyn Leblanc Norman My favorite one is the Skyline Trail end to end.
Ann Marie Fox Hill. Beautiful in all seasons.
