Respected in the Boston community, Scott Bushley serves as the finances and operations partner of an established hedge fund. A skiing and hiking enthusiast, Scott Bushley enjoys exploring outdoor destinations in New England and beyond.
One of the most unique local spots is Sutton, Massachusetts’ Purgatory Chasm State Reservation, which encompasses a chasm that extends for a quarter mile through granite walls that rise as high as 70 feet. This feature originates from glacial meltwater that, after getting dammed up toward the end of the last Ice Age circa 12,000 BCE, was suddenly released with great pressure and force.
Reaching the chasm’s entry point involves a relatively steep descent that requires rock and boulder scrambling skills and steady footing. The deep cuts in the rock, which are associated with various Native American and colonial legends, include a particularly narrow passage known as Fat Man’s Misery. Another rivet, where a tomahawk cut into the granite according to myth, is called the Devil’s Corn Crib. The surrounding area offers numerous trails and picnic areas, as well as ponds and blueberries when in season.
