Summary
This will be a fun winter hike in the always scenic Arnold Arboretum. Beginning at the main entrance, we'll ramble throughout the entire preserve for about four miles. Highlights will include taking in the spectacular views of Boston and surroundings from Peter's and Bussey Hills, ascending the slopes of Hemlock Hill, and viewing the magnificent tree and and shrub specimens. The Arnold Arboretum is a 280+ acre treasure operated by Harvard University on land owned by the City of Boston. It's one of the finest examples of landscape design by Frederick Law Olmsted, and it's a National Historic Landmark. Because of the vagaries of Boston weather, please dress with the appropriate outdoors gear, wear good hiking shoes and bring a liter of water. After our extensive walk, we'll head over to nearby Jamaica Plain Center where we can schmooze at a local eatery.
Directions To Trailhead Parking Lot
We will meet at the Arnold Arboretum, 125 Arborway, Boston, MA 02130. You can use that address for Google Maps and your GPS. Parking is free along the main road (Arborway). It's a 10 minute walk from the Forest Hills Station of the MBTA's Orange Line. We will meet at 1 pm on the main steps in front of the brick Adminstration/Bussey Building, which is just inside the main gate at the right.

A big thank you to Ed and Carlos for organizing this event. Weather was perfect and it was fun to be with such a great group of guys. Met many for the first time and all were very friendly. After every event I attend I can't wait for the next one. Cheers to all who attended.
If there is no snow storm that day I will drive into the city for the walk and hang out with you boys ??
