Come join us for a rocky and hilly hike in the Blue Hills. We don't expect white and fluffy snow, but there will be a white and fluffy dog! We will decide the exact route depending on participants' interests. Some possibilities include the Skyline Trail loop up to Great Blue Hill with an optional side trip to the Trailside Museum, or a loop including the views from Buck Hill in the center of the reservation.
The trip could be anywhere from 3 to 6 miles, depending on the route we choose, with something like 1000 ft. of elevation gain. We will hike at a comfortable pace.
There will be a pre-trip meeting on zoom on Thurs Dec 29 at 6pm.
If you can drive your own car or are willing to drive a rental car, edit the “Lottery preferences” on your MITOC profile to show this.
