Waitt’s Mountain Is The Highest Summit In This Massachusetts Town, And The Views Are Breathtaking
There are numerous places in the Bay State to go hiking and see some incredible views, but you usually have to leave city limits. Inside of Malden, Massachusetts you’ll find the city’s highest point, Waitt’s Mountain (also known as Waitt’s Mount). This mountain that’s plopped down right in this Bay State town also features a historic park within it. Walk up the paved paths through the park, and you’ll reach the top of Waitt’s Mountain for some of the best Bay State views. You’ll even see the Boston skyline in the distance.
As you walk through the park, you'll notice it's well kept and there's a playground as well.
Not only was this spot a Fresh Air Camp during WWI, during WWII it held gun batteries, and during the Battle of Bunker Hill, many people watched the action from the summit.
For an incredible walk through history, and some of the most breathtaking views in Malden, head to this special city mountain that is known as Waitt's Mountain.
