Meetup: 9:25 AM at the Donovan Elementary School parking lot
Hike: Meadow Road Trail Loop (2.7 miles)
We'll be exploring a 2.7-mile loop trail, generally considered a moderate route that takes about 50+ minutes to complete. Begin near Margaret L. Donovan Elementary School and follow the path through the forest and by some marshlands. This is a quiet corner of Blue Hills Reservation, although there may be some road noise on the section of the Smith trail closest to Route 93.
Important Hike Info:
- Expect rocky and potentially muddy trails (and maybe some "horse surprises"!).
- We'll have a quick intro and stretch before each hike.
- Bring water! We'll provide snacks.
- Sunscreen and bug spray are highly recommended.
- Wear sturdy shoes/boots and weather-appropriate clothing.
- Weather cancellations will be sent via email.
Please note: We are experienced hikers, not certified guides. You are responsible for your own safety.
Let's explore the great outdoors together! Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers!
We can't wait to see you on the trails! Happy Hiking! - The RICC, CWP, and MIM Teams
