We'll hike about 4 miles along a section of the Bay Circuit Trail following trails that meander along eskers that are reminders of the last glacier that covered New England. Experience a relatively deep forest populated with oak, hickory, beech, hemlock, witch hazel and white pine. Occasionally, we may moderate our pace to enjoy the natural world of this splendid forest. If that's not enough to pique your interest, how about the chance to stand in 3 towns simultaneously?
7-mile walk w/beach, woods, salt marshes, historic sites, 10:00am-2:30pm. Bring lunch & water. Take Quincy Shore Drive to Wollaston Yacht Club pier at Beach St. Or T to Wollaston, walk 1 mile. Email if severe weather. No dogs; non-AMC members $1.

Join other families for a weekend in beautiful Crawford Notch, NH! AMC Boston Family Outings reserved the Shapleigh Bunkhouse (next to the Highland Center) for Saturday and Sunday nights before the 4th of July. Great hiking, socializing, and fun with the family. Summer hiking is awesome with beautiful views! Hikes will be designed to fit the ages and interests of the kids including a hike up Mt. Willard (3.2 miles RT) with gorgeous views down into Crawford Notch ….a classic "big bang for your buck" hike.

We hope to summit Mt Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Washington, Eisenhower, Pierce, Jackson, and Webster weather allowing. Enjoy vast mountain views in the company of like minded hikers!
Join us for good company and weather permitting, great views on the way to wooded summit of Mt. Zealand (4260'). We will take the Northeast approach from Zealand road, 11.4 miles, about 2400 ft of elevation gain. Participants should have a similar distance hikes with AMC within the past 6 months, not including Spring Program hikes.
Easy pace 5 mile walk, across grassy meadows and through hemlock forest, to scenic Walden Pond. Visit a cove inhabited by Henry Thoreau, during the mid-1800's. We will walk upon the woodland footpaths, where the transcendentalist contemplated life, on his early morning wanderings. Walk followed by dinner/social hour at China Ruby Restaurant, in nearby Maynard, at around 2:00pm. Meet 11:00am, at Lincoln Train Station commuter parking lot.

Meet at the entrance to the Town Forest at 42.5973N 71.6052W. We will leave some cars, car pool to the start, and hike back. About 2 1/2 to 3 hours, moderate pace.
We plan to hike a 14.5 mile loop (around 3200 ft of ascent) on Mt. Greylock using the Hopper, Money Brook, Mt. Prospect, Appalachian, Jones Nose, and CC Dynamite Trails and Sperry Road. We are hoping for spring flowers and multiple views from the only 3000 ft high ridge in MA.
The leader is planning a moderate and steady pace, but you should be in good shape for hiking for a hike of this length.
Tired of the same old 4000 footers? Try 52 with a View! We'll climb Mt. Roberts in the Lakes Region Conservation Trust property by Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough. Beautiful view north of the Sandwich range and beond. As a bonus, we'll continue along the extensive carriage roads to a lookout on Faraway Mountain with a view south to Lake Winnepesaukee. 9.0 miles and 1400 ft elevation gain. All at a moderate pace typical of the Forty Plus Committee.
