Time to get the hiking season started. As a starter hike, we will do the
Skyline trail in the Blue Hills. It's right on 128, a short distance from
Boston. This should be an easy hike but could turn into a moderate one if the
weather is hot.
We will head up to the top of the weather observatory which is a 420 foot
climb. From there it levels out and we will head for the skyline trail. From
there, it's a series of up and downhill climbs. As the whole trail is about 10
miles long, we will head out on it for about an hour and then turn around and
come back. Bring all the normal hiking gear such as hiking boots, backpack,
lunch, 2 quarts of water, non-cotton clothing, etc. Additional hike in the
White Mountains planned for July 31st so this would be a good chance to get
yourself ready and to make sure all your gear is in good working order.
