Description Suggest change

These are tucked away in suburban Melrose. There are a handful of small cliffs.

Getting There Suggest change

Park at the end of Beacon Street or Prescott Street in Melrose (use a map or GPS to get to these streets). Walk into the woods to a vantage point, and follow a trail down that trends to the left. The main cliff (Hard Knox Rocks) will be on your right.
