Vernon's Town Trails Although spliced by I-84, Vernon has a decent number of trails. Many are within earshot of the highway, but that shouldn't stop you.

Case Falls
We're on the Case Case Falls, Manchester November 2016 Falls Fact: 25-feet high dammed cascade I took Calvin out for an hour or so of “waterfall hunting.” I think we can all agree that sounds a lot cooler than, “let’s get in the car and go drive to some waterfalls in Manchester.” We didn’t have too much … [Read more...]
