There are 22 hilltops in Blue Hills Reservation connected by a patchwork of more than 125 miles of trails. A few peaks, like Breakneck Ridge, afford a spectacular view.
Breakneck Ridge is a somewhat rigorous climb from just behind the State Police barracks on Unquity Road. These cumulus clouds were just starting to form on an otherwise delightfully dry Independence Day.
It is believed that on a clear day you can see as far as 70 miles from the top of Great Blue Hill, which at 635 feet is the highest in the Reservation and also the inspiration behind the call letters in WGBH.
