Some information about the hikes….
We are offering a free, casual, community meet up to get outside and enjoy these communities on foot. We do not have a support vehicle and cannot offer rides. For our troupe the whole trek is on foot. Participants should organize their own shuttles, drop off/pickups etc. We recommend you come prepared with water, food, bug spray, first aid and whatever else you may need to have a fun and comfortable experience. These hikes are open to ALL. Young or old and everyone in between. We walk at a very reasonable pace and we don’t leave anyone behind! We’d love to have you join us for a hike and maybe a little conversation. If you have questions call Raianne 508-981-6245. Participants may partake at their own risk and assume their own liability for injury, etc. Massachusetts Walking Tour assumes no responsibility for injuries, etc.
