Whilst Great Blue Hill is the tallest of the 22 hills in the Blue Hills Chain, it is only a moderate climb from the main road, making it achievable for most. From the top, you're afforded tremendous views across the surrounding area, including over the whole of Boston and on a clear day, all the way to Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire.
