This should be a relatively easy to moderate six mile round trip along the eastern section of the Blue Hills Reservation.  We will start at the Reservation HQ on Hillside Street, and take a combination of trails (Bugbee/Pig Rock) to Rt. 28, and return on the always popular Skyline Ridge.  These trails offer wonderful views of the South Shore, Boston Harbor, and as the name implies, the Boston skyline.  Bring a lunch and/or snacks, as we will be stopping at appropriate places to take in the sights.  There are some minor steep sections on the trail, but for the most part, this should be a comfortable walk in the woods.  Wear comfortable shoes/socks, and bring water, as there is no potable water on the trail.  Rain will cancel.

 From Rt. 128/I-93, take exit 3 (Hougton's Pond), and go north about 100 yards where it will dead-end at a stop sign.  Turn right onto Hillside Street, and in .25 mile you will see the parking lot for Houghton's Pond.  I recommend parking here, since there isn't much parking at the HQ.  From here, walk .25 mile further on Hillside Street to the Park HQ building.  We will be waiting there by the road, at the trailhead to the Skyline Trail.
