Hiking
Sunset Hill, or Pole/ Poles Hill, is an 105 foot summit that is a hidden-gem in Gloucester. From the summit, which is an open, granite rock outcropping, you get great views through the spare trees to the water. The hill itself is ringed with large glacier erratic boulders (which might have been a part of a Native American Solar Observatory) and rests between two rivers. There is a pleasant network of trails to and around the hill, but they can be a little overgrown in the springtime.
