These stones at the crown of Holt Hill mark the cardinal points of the compass, along with the places where the sun sets and rises on the summer and winter solstices — the longest and shortest days of the year. Don't forget to look around: You can also get great views up here of the Boston skyline and the rolling hills around you.
