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 hiking during the warmer months can be quite spectacular, there’s something so serene about winter hiking in Massachusetts. If you’re looking for a spectacular place to hike during the cold season, Myles Standish State Forest completely transforms into a winter wonderland.
The 12,400-acre Myles Standish State Forest has 13 miles of hiking trails for you to get out and explore, get some fresh air, and take in the scenery. While it's wonderful any time of year, it's particularly enchanting in the winter.
At 2.6 miles, the East Head Pond Trail will take you through a winter wonderland around the pond by the same name. Enjoy the peace and quiet around you as the landscape is covered in a blanket of white.
