Hiking in Massachusetts is so plentiful that sometimes it can be hard to choose where to go next. For some of the best nature views, head on over to Blue Hills Reservation and find your way to the Buck Hill trail. While this trail is beautiful all year round, it’s especially breathtaking in the fall as all of the leaves in the reservation start to change colors. When you reach the end of this trail, you’ll be met with an overlook of the Boston skyline that’s second to none. Lace up your boots and get ready to embark on one of the most pretty hikes in the Bay State, right here in Blue Hills Reservation in Milton.

Welcome to Buck Hill Trail!
