The ranger at the Trailside Museum advised me to walk the trails along the outskirts of the Blue Hills early in the season because they get overgrown and harder to follow by summer. So this weekend I’m going to tackle the very long, but very flat area around Fowl Meadow. I mapped out the track and it’s going to be my longest hike so far, 7.5 miles, but with very little elevation change it shouldn’t be too bad.
