With the nice weather finally approaching, Riley and I decided to go for a hike this past weekend. I played soccer in college and sometime during preseason we would hike Blue Hills Reservation as a fun workout. So Riley and I ventured over to Milton to take me back down memory lane.
The cool thing about Blue Hills is that there are 125 miles of trails and it is opened year round. There are paved trails and dirt trails which Riley and I hiked on both. My favorite part of Blue Hills is when you reach the top. There is a stone tower called Eliot Tower that you can go into. At the top of the tower there is an amazing view of Boston. Hiking isn’t the only thing Blue Hills has to offer. You can bike, horseback ride, camp, fish, have a picnic with the family anything you can think of. The reservation is beautiful and has a ton of wildlife and amazing plants and flowers. There is a lot of History behind Blue Hills Reservation and the Trailside Museum is a nice place to learn more about it.
