Are you ready for a hiking adventure? While Cape Cod may be best known for its beaches and seafood, it’s actually got some of the most stunning hiking trails in the state, especially within the boundaries of the Cape Cod National Seashore. And if you visit Truro, you can hike along a path to a little-known overlook in Massachusetts for some gorgeous views you won’t believe.

This hike will take you on a spectacular adventure through landscapes that were carved by glaciers thousands of years ago. On this particular trail, you’ll hike through maritime forests, along the tops of dunes, and past a historic cranberry bog house.
