Overview

Are you interested in hiking with a group led by experienced Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) hike leaders? Is hiking new to you or have you started hiking, had to stop, and would like to begin again? Perhaps you have hiked and you'd like to slowly improve your hiking stamina, abilities, and know-how. If you have answered "Yes" to any of the above, you are aged 18 or older, and in generally good health, then this is the hiking series for you! The series started with just a few miles on mostly flat trails at a slow to moderate pace. It now progresses to more challenging conditions, which include longer distances, a bit more pace, and the addition of hilly terrain. The participants meet every other week. Our progress depends on the comfort of EVERYONE who regularly participates. The series began on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 and continues every other Tuesday thru December 17th (seven hikes in all). YOU CAN REGISTER AT ANY TIME DURING THE SERIES! We meet at various locations in the Blue Hills Reservation for all of our hikes. The leaders introduce you to different hiking techniques, rules for safety, and the various types of equipment and clothing to help you achieve your goals. The objective is to expand your hiking IQ and to have fun! You are not required to be a member of AMC. However, you do need to set up an account to REGISTER ONCE for all of the hikes in the program. Then just "show and go" for any or all of the remaining hikes in the series. If you already have an AMC account just register once for the entire program. Here's the website address to register: https://outdoors.my.site.com/CommunitiesSelfReg Pets are not permitted on these hikes, except for pre-approved service dogs. Additional information is sent on Sunday, prior to each Tuesday morning hike, to all those who register. We hope that you, your friends, and your family members will join us!
