Summary
B.B.T.S. Black and Blue Trail Smashers!
Blue Hills Skyline Trail (Out and Back)
- Distance is 16 miles.
This trip is considered STRENUOUS.
- Steady/quick pace
- Steep grade
- Rocky trails
- Open ledges
The group will meet at Blue Hills Reservation Parking Lot, Willard Street, Quincy MA at 8 am.
PREPARATION/WHAT TO BRING: It is recommended that hikers have extra dry clothing and wind protection. Always have water and food. If you need suggestions on what to bring, PLEASE ASK!!
For this trip, it is important to bring along flexibility, patience, and a sense of humor.
Group Size It is not fun leaving folks out.
- If you cannot attend, PLEASE cancel so others may join.
- If you are on the waiting list, please contact me days prior to the trip, most likely there will be room and if needed this trail will allow us to break the group into two smaller groups.
- Please do NOT bring any dogs on this hike.
Decreasing the impact on the environment is always a priority! Please plan to “carry in and carry out” all items. It may also be possible to collect other hikers’ debris along the way.
Weather: If the weather is a concern any updates or cancellation information will be posted by the Thursday prior to 6 pm. If there is a cancellation, it will include a “possible” rescheduled date so participants can watch for that opportunity.
Safety is a priority! Any time a hiker is injured or lost a HUGE team of volunteers is dispatched to aid in the search and rescue efforts. No one wants to be injured or put others in harm’s way. Always be prepared. Know your limits. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the hike leaders.
