Lucky to have this space so close to the city. Took it for granted when it was essentially my back yard growing up. Hiking, biking, skiing (I guess), all minutes from the city.
Great place to hike! So many different spots to visit, including an overlook where you can see the city of Boston, as well as a hike up to a weather station along side a ski mountain! Fun all year round. Also, check out the Audubon nearby. They have many great animals including owls, deer, Fox, and otter!
we did hiking at this places, followed red dot trail- enjoyed it. This place also has small pond and plenty of picnic areas. on last summer we spent whole day walking grilling .. with friends.Parking is little tricky has at around spots if you miss the.one at main entrance you can.find place at picnic area-3.
If you take the skyline trail to its northernmost point past Little Blue, you can explore an empty spur of highway from the planned/abandoned I-95 route through Boston.
I hike here several times a week. I always enjoy my time here. It's what keeps me sane. You see, I'm from the 413, where there is real woods. I have hiked about 90% of the trails here and I like them all. You have trails for all skill levels. Whenever I go I usually plan a loop. I also highly recommend packing a lunch and hiking the whole skyline trail. It's great! The only issue I've had with the blue hills is the amount of trash in the woods around the headquarters. I'm usually the guy to pick up trash I see on the trail anywhere I go but not this trash, this was gross city trash. All in all, I love the blue hills. It's a great spot.
I've hiked in the Colorado Rockies, Peruvian Andes, Nepalese Himalayas, the Alps, the rugged terrain of Afghanistan, and of course all over the white mountains. A day in the blue hills charging up and down the skyline trail is as challenging as any hike you can find anywhere. A great place to train if you can't get to NH, but it's also pretty beautiful in its own right.
Great hiking trails; awesome view of Boston. Remember to take the map. Colored trail markers are not super visible and you may easily have to wander for a bit before you can find your way back. But if you're like me and consider getting lost a big part of enjoying the outdoors, skip the map and test your sense of direction!
