Hike Boston: Beginning Boston Tour

Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

Description: Discover Boston's eventful history with our Urban Park Rangers as you stroll along the Boston Common and parts of the Freedom Trail exploring historical events, people, and communities that have shaped our city over the past 5 decades. Beginning Boston Tours vary in length from .5 miles up to 2 miles. Depending on the length, they can last from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Starting location will be outside the VIC, with the ending location varying from tour-to-tour.  Restrooms and drinking water may or may not be available, come prepared with whatever you will need for the walk or hike.
