Comments:

The 44th Annual Blue Hills Traverse is moving to Western Mass for 2016!

Start and Finish is at the Notch Visitor Center in Amherst, MA. There is no drive to a remote start this year. The first half of the traverse is an upper and lower traverse across the north side of the Holyoke Range on the Earl's Trails map; the second half is a southern and northern traverse around Mt. Norwottuck on the Norwottuck map. The Mini-Traverse does shorter traverses on both maps, visiting the same controls as the Traverse.
