A Summer of Trees

All last year I really wanted to go hiking, but I found myself never having the time. This year is much different. My boyfriend Jay has just started to get into hiking as well and it makes trips much more easier to go on. Both of us are pushing to get more physically active, and it's a great bonding experience. Jay and I are preparing to go on the Appalachian Trail together in April of 2012, so we need to go hiking as much as possible.

As we searched for trails across New England, we have found that back roads take you to the strangest towns with other fun ideas for day trips. The more I explore even just Massachusetts, I realize I barely even know my own state or the treasures that reside there.

So this blog is going to be about the random finds and trails that are within New England. I may even do some "out of New England" specials. So please read, enjoy, and try these places for yourself as well!
