Hello everyone,

First time poster...I found this forum after doing a google search.

I am presently doing location scouting for my thesis film at Emerson College in Boston , and am trying to find a steep cliff location overlooking some woods. I know that probably sounds terribly vague, but I should note that I'm from New Jersey and really don't know New England all that well (I've done some hiking in the Middlesex Fells in Medford, and have spent a little bit of time in Maine and Vermont, but that's about it.). I don't have a car myself, so I haven't really been able to venture out and see what there is

For logistical reasons, I would prefer to find something in Eastern MA that is within an hour or two of the Boston area. However, I'm also open to any and all suggestions of other locations. I've done quite a bit of google image searching in the research process, and the returns have been limited, so if anyone has some images they could direct me to, that would be amazing as well.

I plan to shoot in late September-early October (after getting official permission for all of my locations, of course).
I'm trying to find something in the 200-300 ft. range, with a steep face and scenic view. I've been a city dweller for the past 6 years, so I know my description might sound a little wonky, but that's generally what I'm looking for.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check out Rumney, NH. There's multiple cliffs with very scenic overlooks. Also check out Cathedral Ledge and Whitehorse just west of North Conway, NH. Whitehorse has a road/trail type thing to the top. At (approximately) 300 ft high, the views are unbeatable.

Kind of on the far end of your travel limits, but I'm not sure of any 200-300 ft cliffs in MA or southern NH.
