World's End ReservationHingham, MAApril 17th and December 5th, 2004 |
World's End Reservation is a 400 acre coastal peninsula consisting of four drumlins upon which a residential subdivision
was planned in the late 1800s but never constructed. Today it's fields, tree-lined cart paths, woodlands and shoreline
cliffs offer great leisurely hiking opportunities and scenic views.

We first travelled to World's End for a day hike in April 2004. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ryland (center),
a Clark Alumnus from the class of 1954 who lives a stone's throw from the reservation. The sharp-eyed Ryland spotted
our Clark University van as we passed his house.
|
It was a beautiful spring day as we began hiking up the paths.
|
After lunch our group split up. Some explored the grassy fields and others headed for the rocky cliffs...
|
...while Becca made made friends with the local critters.

A second Outing Club group traveled to World's End in December 2004. It was a nice, sunny day, but very windy on the eastern exposures.
|
The clear conditions gave us a great view of the Boston skyline.
|
The gate attendant said that 3 deer had just been spotted on the reservation, but we never saw them. We were intrigued watching this woodpecker though.
|
A perfect perch for lunch.
