Great Hiking Destinations near Boston


An accomplished violinist based in Boston, Sarah Hadley Yakir studied at the Manhattan School of Music and earned a bachelor of fine arts from New England Conservatory. As a soloist, she has performed with groups including the Mount Holyoke Symphony Orchestra and the Brooklyn Conservatory Orchestra. In her free time, Sara Hadley Yakir enjoys activities such as cooking, traveling, and hiking. 

While Boston is largely known as an urban destination, there are excellent hiking spots within a 75-mile radius of the city. Middlesex Fells Reservation, a 2,500-acre state park featuring more than 100 miles of trails, is just minutes away. Those who don't want to travel far from the city to hike also can take the short trip to Great Blue Hill in Milton. This popular hiking spot is located in the Blue Hills Reservation, which offers 125 miles of trails. 

Some notable hiking destinations a little more outside of the city include Wachusett Mountain. Located near Princeton, Massachusetts, the mountain rises more than 2,000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by a 3,000-acre reservation that features plenty of trails and beautiful scenery. Other great hiking spots include Mount Watatic, Lynn Woods, Deer Island, and Mount Monadnock.
