 | Comments: |
It surprised me to find so many miles of pleasant hiking trails within the Boston City Limits, including its natural high-point - West Roxbury's Bellevue Hill. I don't think many hikers know about it - I didn't meet any of them, at least, on a reasonably nice Sunday morning and afternoon. |
