With An Observation Tower And A Cave, You'll Love The Skyline Outer Reservoir Loop Hike In Massachusetts
Are you looking for a great hiking trail close to the city of Boston? If you haven’t previously visited the Middlesex Fells Reservation, now is the time to go. The reservation contains some of the best hiking trails in Massachusetts. We have already told you about the Rock Circuit Trail Loop and the Virginia Wood Trail. Both are easy trails that can be quickly completed. However, If you are looking for a hike that is more challenging, I suggest taking the longer Skyline Outer Reservation Loop trail.

This trail can be challenging, so be sure to bring lots of water with you to stay hydrated. A handy water bottle to have while hiking is the L.L. Bean Insulated Bean Canteen Water Bottle.
