I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
While taking a walk or a hike along a trail can be quite relaxing, there’s just something about following someone else’s lead. With a good tour guide who is not only knowledgeable about the area but the flora and fauna as well, you can get so much more out of the experience. If this piques your interest, there’s a unique nature tour in Salem, Massachusetts you may want to consider. The Salem Forest Lore Tour will show you a lesser-known side of the town.
Salem, Massachusetts has long been known as "Witch City." Known best for the Salem Witch Trials in the late 1600s, there are still practicing witches that reside here.
The Salem Forest Lore Tour is an opportunity to take a walk through an untouched forest with a witch. You'll be led on a journey that is so uniquely Salem!
While this is an easy trek, be sure to wear comfortable shoes, take a walking stick (if necessary), and bring a reusable water bottle. And be sure to arrive at least five minutes before the tour in order to check in.
You'll also hear a bit about witchcraft, nature and the environment, plants that are used for healing, and some folklore. Your guide is very knowledgeable in these areas so be prepared to learn something new!
