The Trees is a bouldering area in Massachusetts, about 1.2 miles from West Foxboro. It sits among several other climbing spots, including Cube Boulder, Pine Tree Boulder and Gilbert Hills State Park, all within about a tenth of a mile. The area is a cluster of boulders rather than a single route, and the climbing is all on rock rather than on a wall or a cliff. The five routes here are all boulders, with grades ranging from V1 to V4. The easiest are Gossip and Pocket, both V1, and the hardest is Hard Wood at V4. Soft Wood is a V2 boulder with a first ascent by Joe McLoughlin. For a change from the rocks, the Healthy Heart Loop and Acorn Trail are both about 0.6 miles away. Lake Pearl, roughly 3.7 miles off, offers fishing.
