Sleeping Giant: Nature and Red Trails
SGSP N-S Traverses (5 Red Trails & The Nature Trail) Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, ~9 miles total (solo) July 17, 2011 I'm dumb. No, I'm not dumb for setting out to hike all 5 up and down red trails on a blisteringly hot and humid July day. And no, I'm not dumb for having written this page already but … [Read more...]
BLT: Taine Mountain Trails
T'Aine't Much Here BLT/NC Taine Mountain Trails July 11, 2015 In my effort to be a true Burlington Land Trust Burlington Trail Master, I made it a point to revisit this slightly confusing property. I say "revisit" because I previously hiked most of it in 2008 when I was working my way through the Tunxis … [Read more...]

"Stiling" and Profiling on the Tunxis Tunxis White Dot: Plymouth/Burlington/Harwinton, 9.1 miles April 27 & June 29, 2008 2015 Update: The White Dot didn’t change with all the 2014 Tunxis changes in Burlington, but since I combined my hike(s) of it with trails that did change, I have to change around this … [Read more...]
Tunxis Burlington Region: Yellow Dot
Tunxis Yellow Dot Trail Burlington, 9.1 miles April 20 and November 16, 2008 [2015 Update: Hoo boy. Major changes to this section!

Tunxis Mainline Trail: Section 5
Section 5: Getting Into the Hartland Barkhamsted/Hartland, 13.1 miles, with my dad October 20, 2013 My pops is no spring chicken, but he’s a rather fit septuagenarian. So he was pretty pumped for this 13 mile (or so) jaunt through the wilds of north central Connecticut. Granted, my dad lives in Delaware and has no … [Read more...]
Tunxis Mainline Trail: Section 4
Section 4: Hike Sundown Canton, New Hartford, Barkhamsted, 7.6 miles, with my dad April 14, 2013 Over three and a half years.

As pathetic as that is, it also highlights how great the CT 400 challenge … [Read more...]
Pachaug: Pharisee Rock Trail
Oh Those Pharisees Pharisee Rock Trail, Sterling December 14, 2012 For starters, I don't really care about who the Pharisees were. If you do, rock on. I do care about the Pharisee Rock Trail though - the short one mile in, one mile out trail on the Pachaug Trail in the Ekonk section of Sterling. I realize … [Read more...]
