The Great Escape: Noon Hill Reservation

Each week, we discover a new, local place to escape for some "me time"!

Why not consider Mother's Day a week-long event?  If you've read my recent , you will know that I highly encourage all Moms to spend time outdoors, immersed in nature. It is a great way to escape the hectic daily grind!

As beautiful weather is predicted for the entire weekend, why not discover Medfield's Noon Hill Reservation, a gentle hike with breathtaking views of Norfolk from atop the Hill itself. This hike lends itself to the novice photgrapher, as it winds through beautiful paths beside the Charles River, as well as rare flowers like the Pink Lady Slipper. Naturally, many song birds also find this reservation home as well. What a great place to get in tune!

Not into hiking alone?  Leave the hubby to take the kids to the weekend sporting events, and grab a friend to gab with, and motivate you to consider some of the more arduous trails.
