By signing up for and/or attending a BHHC hike you agree to the Blue Hills Hiking Club Liability Waiver and to the Covid-19 Rules Below:

Please be sure to read the entire hike description and answer the questions that accompany the rsvp unless we have hiked together recently. This is not a good first hike with the group.

Please be sure to check the posting before leaving for the hike: Occasionally I change the starting place or time. This is especially true in winter. If you have any questions about the location please contact me.

My hikes start on time so be sure to arrive early enough to park and gear up.

We will start hiking Great Blue from one of the trails accessible from the museum parking lot and we will continue toward the State Police. These trails include the Red Dot, several ski slope trails, and Big Blue (the steep long Skyline trail). We may do two of these trails. Expect to emphasize steep hills, which we may mix with some other trails. The distance will be about 6.5-7 miles, we won't take breaks and we will keep our pace on the hills. The route will vary from week to week.

This hike is on the advanced end in terms of the BH. It's not a good first hike with the group. If I have not hiked with you recently please be sure to fully answer the questions that accompany the rsvp, or you may remain on the waitlist. Feel free to message me with any questions.

We do not permit guests on our hikes. All hikers must be members. Unfortunately the Meetup software occasionally changes the default setting and asks if a hiker is bringing a guest. Please ignore that.

COVID-19: While currently there are no specific restrictions or protocols in place, please be aware that this virus is still circulating and people are being infected. So let's not get careless. If you have tested positive, been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, or have recent symptoms, please inform the Event Host and refrain from attending. Err on the side of caution. Also, please respect fellow hikers who might want to exercise extra caution like masking or distancing .

Please wear hiking boots. Hiking poles are also helpful for stability. For the duration of cold weather we require hikers to carry microspikes in our packs.

This hike may be canceled or the route altered if weather or ground conditions dictate.
