Although not known for "peaks", the Boston area is home to many public lands with extensive trail networks all within 10 miles of downtown Boston. The "Boston 5" is designed as a sampler of the nearest public lands surrounding the city, a first challenge for you to tackle in the Boston area. Includes 5 lower "peaks" all inside the I-95 ring. Features the scenic lookout tower above the impressive grounds of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge and the highest hills in several public lands: the Blue Hills to the south and the Middlesex Fells, Breakheart Reservation, and Lynn Woods Reservation to the north.
