Great Blue Hill, Mountain summit in Milton, Massachusetts, US
Great Blue Hill rises 183 meters above sea level and represents the highest point within the Blue Hills chain, featuring exposed granite surfaces.
The Native American Massachusett people inhabited this area for over ten thousand years before European settlers arrived in the region.
The Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, established in 1885, continues to collect weather data and stands as a National Historic Landmark.
Seven different trails lead to the summit, offering various difficulty levels and distances for hikers to select from throughout the year.
The mountain received its name from early English colonists who noticed the blue color of the granite when viewed from a distance.
