Overview

Come visit a quiet side of the Middlesex Fells with great views over Melrose and even the ocean, if the weather allows. We will visit the Cascade, the only real waterfall I am aware of in the Fells. Then we will climb up a to Melrose Rock, with some hand over hand scrambling up and down. This hike is most appropriate for ages 5 and up, due to the rocky nature. The loop is about 2 miles but we will take our time and enjoy the view from the top. This hike is accessible by public transportation, about 10 minutes from the Oak Grove Orange Line stop, or via on street parking. Please click the link or email [email protected] to register.
