Great views abound! This place is a hikers paradise and definitely a place for the adventurous. My group could spend our entire day here if it wasn't for the packed itinerary we already had. A great place especially for those who wish to see an elevated view of the great city of Boston or for those who are looking for a great picture for Instagram.

Also there is even spikes at the tops of the mountains to allow for easy rock climbing. I would love to go back and take in the views again and find how to get to other parts.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When we arrived we only saw the entrance that had two cinderblocks with graffiti and we went that way where we did trudge through some mud and tall grass. When visiting I would better recommend going through the forest bike path with the rod "blocking" it. We didn't even realize that was also an entrance until we decided to take a different way back! It's kind of a blink or you'll miss...

Looks like a pretty cool place but have to admit I only know it through the work of YouTube professor and Dunning-Kruger poster child, Enslaved by no Media, aka Uber Cletus, Piehole from Walpole, or maybe Dave Misspell-king. Among other things he believes Earth is small, flat, and tilted 2.35⁰ down to the north, planes fly low and slow with no fuel, and the cameras he constantly uses to prove his points are all part of a giant conspiracy to deceive regarding the previous items. He is probably harmless but, if you see a man with a Nikon camera on a tripod possibly mumbling to himself, your best course of action would probably be not to make eye contact and walk slowly in another direction. But, if you want a good belly laugh, by all means, check out his YT channel. SNL writers could not outdo...

This is an unique place, we went there as a family with little kids. This inactive quarry is really cool and hip with graffiti art and reminded me of NYC’s 5 Pointz in Long Island City. My older kids and the accompanying adults had fun exploring the reservation but it was a bit dangerous for our toddler hence the old quarry/popular rock climbing spot (steep walls). Unobstructed Boston skyline view from tallest points of the quarry were delightful. Free parking is available. Easy access by car and transit.

When we went there last spring, it was bit dirty; littered spray cans, broken glasses were spotted. Also there were some guys practicing archery with a target so we were walking around them with...

This was so different from our usual hikes, where we get to enjoy the “untouched” beauty of nature. But taking the kids to see this strange landmark actually opened up some really great conversations about graffiti, what they thought of it, and the impact it has on nature and on this location. Things to know before you go: 📍Quincy Quarries Reservation, Quincy MA 🅿️ There is a decent sized parking and entrance is free 🥾The trails are unmarked, and we got turned around a few times, so you definitely want to keep the @alltrails map running for this one. There were also some muddy and slippery spots, which felt a little unnerving and treacherous, but there were also plenty of trails that were easy walks and mostly flat. And you can choose to just walk around the completely flat field and look at the graffiti covered ledges if you so choose. ⚠️NOTE: The graffiti does make the rocks a little slick in places, so bum-scooting was necessary in a few spots on the way down. ‼️And while the sheer amount of graffiti is quite something to see, if your child is a fluent and quick reader, there are definitely some inappropriate sections (as would be expected, but just be warned 😅) Would you go check this out? #quincyquarries #quincyma #bostonlandmarks #graffitiart
