-visited August 2016
-varies depending on trail or parking, 1-125 miles
-easy

-notes:
     -Washington Street is dirt parking, free. Headquarters is paved parking
     -from dirt parking lot, have to cross the main street to enter the park / find trailhead
     -trails vary, some are a lot of rock / man made stairs and stepping, where as others are flat gravel paths
     -inclines vary from somewhat steep to no incline at all
     -the majority of the trails are shaded by trees, but the hill tops open up to pure sunlight
     -park is comprised of 22 hills
     -only view is from Eliot Tower, which overlooks to Boston
     -trail markings arent great, but have some numbered signs that correspond to the map, make sure to have a map or will most likely get very lost
     -trails are good cardio but not strenuous
