Up the Charles, Down the Charles

≈ 11,500 steps5.5 mi · a full dayAdvanced · 6 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.

A full day on both banks of the Charles River: a garden cemetery's lookout tower, Harvard Yard, the footbridge to the boathouses, MIT's dome, a bridge measured in Smoots and the Esplanade's concert shell. Walking with a bus or Red Line hop, about eight hours. The cemetery closes at 7 pm.

Earned in the field. You can't buy this one.
