Need to get out in nature and reset from all the stresses lately? The Concord area is FILLED with great places to hike! There is actually over 80 miles of trails in Concord alone!
I have not come close at all to hiking all 80 miles, but have compiled a big list of local favorites! Many of my personal favorite local trails are listed here along with some on my wish list that have been recommended by other families.
