BLUE HILLS RESERVATION,
Massachusetts, Southeast,
MA
Start your Thanksgiving Day holiday off with an invigorating hike to make room for your celebratory feast later in the day! We will move along at a moderate pace, with occasional stops during the 5-mile route, which has a modest 250 feet of elevation gain, as we circumnavigate Ponkapoag Pond. I enjoy the hills in the Blue Hills as much as anyone but truly enjoy the ability to experience the nature as well along this well-traveled,. mostly flat trail for hikers, mountain-bikers, runners, and horses too! Bottom line - - - most every level of hiker is welcomed - - - beginner to expert as long as you can walk/hike five miles. Bring waterproof hiking shoes or boots, snack/lunch, and plenty of water. Wear layers as the weather dictates. MICROspikes, or other traction devices, may be necessary depending on the trail conditions. We'll take a break at the AMC Camp down at the pond midway thru the hike, weather permitting. A steady rain or the immediate threat of a snow storm will cancel the hike. Well behaved dogs on leash are welcomed too. The group size will be limited to 15 hikers plus the leader. This trip is often wait-listed, so please cancel your registration if you can no longer attend or are not feeling well.. Details and directions to the trailhead location will be sent two days prior to the hike to those who register.
