It is a fun, family walk and it's not hilly. There are a lot of tree roots on the trails, so be careful. Some of the walk is on the roads, and some of the walk is on the trails in the public school area.

The clues start like this:

Park in the Hopkinton High School Parking Lot, letter G on Hayden Rowe Street (route 85).
Exit the Lot on foot go left and onto the Hopkins School road.
You will pass the High School as you proceed down the road.
The road curves left toward the Hopkins School as you continue along.
On your right, find the Trail of Hope and take a rest on the bench near the Royal Fern sign.
Follow the path and turn onto the old railroad bed that used to run through the town.
Soon, you will cross an old railroad bridge.
Continue on through the woods, on the trail.
You will come upon a rock patch, where you will take a right.
Try your athleticism and jump over 6 large hurdles.
After the sixth, take about 12 steps and there are exposed roots on your left.
Look among the roots, and you will find your first box.
Go back the way you came, and try your hurdle jumping again.
Now, take another break on the bench very close to the rock patch.
Follow the trail that the bench is on.
Continue to the end of the trail which leads you to a field.
Walk through the parking lot and take a left and cross over the wooden bridge.
Enter parking lot K and go to the edge of the woods.
Hop over a stone wall to the tremendously tall triple trees of pine.
Look around the base of the trees and find the last box. Use the map at the entrance to Lot K to find your way back to Parking Lot G.
Hope you had fun!
