Blue Hills White Triangle Trail - Easy Pace / Moderate hike

Hello All,

This is great practiced for Welch Dickey. It's about the same mileage but WD is 3 times the elevation gain so please join us.

HIKE - Approximately 5 MILES
ELEVATION GAIN - Approximately 600 FEET
TERRAIN - ROCKS AND ROOTS - GOOD FOOTWEAR A MUST

After numerous injuries, surgeries, procedures and other BS the past few years, I'm on the mend and hitting the trails again. Look out for some local hikes to prep us for Some bigger and better stuff this fall. I.E Mt. Monadnock, Welch Dickey, Mt Major, The Rattelsnakes, Mt Willard, Arethusa Falls and more...
No I won't be doing the 48 - 4000 footers. There are enough groups that do that. I'll be doing more of the 52 with a view ... with some waterfalls sprinkled in.
Every hike leader has their own style. My hikes are more casual in natures. We stop to smell the roses, take pictures, soak in the beauty of all the things nature has to offer.
Kudos to those who can bring some knowledge on the trail. For instance, I've been learning about trees and love to share what I know. Our last hike had an amatuer mushroom expert. We've had people share knowledge about geology and the history of the american settlers of New England. It gives our little treks into nature a little more meaning and interest. Please join us
