This is a great trail to just get out and go for a hike. It is long challenging and close all at once. You get some great views on the tops of a couple of the peaks. There are a few areas that are not easy. There are some spots of lose rock on the climbs and downhills. A good pair of boots and socks are strongly recommended for this trail.
Directions:
there are two point to pick up the trail one is skate rink in quincy and the other is the trailside museum in canton. I would recommend picking up a map before down any hike in the blue hills. the map costs about 2 dollars.
