Activity description

Hello. Happy Spring!

I have lead many hikes but not on this site, so I'm going to try this,

We will do a easy-moderate hike of around 3/4 miles, following the skyline loop on the west side of the blue hills:

https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/massachusetts/great-blue-hill-via-skyline-trail?u=i&sh=rpfkzo

(could make a bit longer than this, but this will be base trail)


Gear:

Sneakers should be okay but trail shoes or hiking boots are recommend

water

snacks if you want

trails may be muddy FYI

Depending on temps, jacket, hat etc.......

What to expect:

Skyline trail is a lot of smaller ups/downs, while nothing like the whites a bit harder than say most areas of middlesex fells.

Rocky trails

around 800 feet elevation gain.

Hi, Sunday doesn’t work for me. I will go to Blue Hills Saturday alone- NP- I live close by and do that loop when I need to get my legs together- adding the ski slope to start from Trailside Museum. Have fun Saturday. Suzy
