Waiting Hill
About
Waiting Hill is a summit in Massachusetts, about 1.8 miles from the town of Duxbury. The most comfortable time to go is late summer into early fall. Typical September averages at a nearby weather station in Plymouth-Kingston run highs around 76°F and lows near 57°F, with July the warmest month at about 84°F. The station sits a little below the hill, so the top may run slightly cooler. Pond Loop is the closest nearby hike, about 0.4 miles away. A few miles farther are the Wildlands Trust's Phillips Farm Path and the Nook Trail. The Jones River, about 4.3 miles off, is a canoeing option.
