I was invited by a friend to go hiking in one of the local reservations called Fells Reservation. A reservation is a large area of land that has been set aside in as a nature reserve where you can hike the trails and explore. The one that we were going to has a few simple trails laid out and some more complex hiking areas, also if you get to the top of the hill see great views of the city of Boston. While I may not be an avid hiker I thought I could give it a try.
Public parks like the Fells are great places to bring the family or explore with a friend. Remember to think safety. These parks have trails laid out so follow the trails provided, take a map if there are any, and have a plan for where to go. But most importantly have fun! If you and your family are a regular hikers and want to try something new, print and take a Nature Bingo board and see how many items you can find. This is a great activity for children 5 and up. Nature Bingo can be played with younger kids as a way to get them look closer at their surroundings.
I will let you all know what I find when I get back from my adventures. Let me know what you have found, too! Come along and Meet Me Outdoors!
