Overview

Please join us for a fun winter hike in the Blue Hills. We are hoping for some snow this season so we can enjoy the picturesque trails and get to use our micro-spikes and snowshoes, but we will hike even if we don't have snow. The hike will be approximately 6-8 miles, including up to 1,200' elevation gain. We will average a pace of 1 1/2 + mph with short breaks when needed to enjoy a snack or light lunch. The route will include uneven terrain and rock scrambles. Appropriate hiking clothes layers for winter weather conditions, sturdy footwear, lunch/snacks, 2 liters of water, and a small backpack are required. Weather can change dramatically around this time of year, so please check before coming to the hike. This hike is open to all who qualify, and you do not have to be a member of AMC to participate. If you don't have microspikes or trekking poles, you can still come as we have some spare gear. Registration is required for this hike.
