Located only minutes from the bustle of downtown Boston, the Blue Hills Reservation provides a green oasis in an urban environment. We went on a hike with some Singaporeans we met that work and live in Boston and a visitor fm Memphis.

We reached the park's highest pt at 635 ft,which provided a panoramic view from the stone tower on the Great Blue. Patriots in the past used Great Blue as a lookout during the Revolutionary War, lighting beacons up here to warn of any British attack.

We had perfect weather, fantastic company and all-in a great afternoon...
