Arnold Arboretum Winter Hike

Hi there - I agree with Johnny and his comment. I walk a few miles through the Arboretum most every day. The last snowstorm dumped about 23 inches on us and the Arboretum is now a real winter wonderland. The paved roads are all plowed well and mostly sanded. A lot of the known and trodden trails are all packed down with snow. Off the trails you would need snowshoes to get around well. In any case, it should be a great walk for the group! Ed
