Blue Hills Reservation

Great place to backpack or some light hiking. There are many trails ranging from easy to moderate. The skyline view is of Boston from buck hill. It’s approximately 8 miles x 5 miles with trails around the base of the hills or some pretty steep climbs on granite ledge or boulders. Well marked trails. If you get an app like ALL TRAILS which records you in live time on a clearly marked map makes exploring easy and keeps it recorded for you.
If you are looking for a challenge my favorite is the SKYLINE (marked in blue).
It runs 8 miles in one direction. If you are not up for the 8 mile return trip you can go with a friend in 2 cars and leave one at the destination so you can drive back to your original starting point or call Uber for a mercy ride:)
HAPPY TRAILING !!!

I always love coming to the Blue Hills area. The Trails are great and clearly marked and casual hiking for all levels. I always enjoy myself and also great for kids. Great views of downtown Boston and the surrounding area from the top of Big Blue!

Ran into hikers with their dogs off leash, wish they followed the rules....

Sick trails to ride, but be careful.
