Contact: Joe Herosy

WORLD'S END WALK - Hingham, MA - 7/24, 10am Joe writes: World's End is a peninsula with great views of Boston and Hingham harbour, some beautiful meadows with big old trees and some scrubby tree lined paths leading to rocky shoreline with a nice cliff. We'll explore the best parts all in about 3 hours. Mostly very easy hiking with moderate hills and just a few rocky parts. You can hang out on the rocks with a great view while some of us climb around if you prefer. $5 goes to the Trustees of Reservations which owns the property. Parking can be tight on a Saturday, so carpool if you can. Follow the link for directions. I'm in Rockland, MA and can meet someone in the area if you like.
