Sunset Hill Trail
A Good Lesson on Winter Sun Angles Sunset Hill Trail, Ellington March 2019 This is a Northern Connecticut Land Trust property. It has been another long winter here in Connecticut... not so much because of excessive snow or cold, but because my son Calvin is seven and has a very full social calendar. Fuller … [Read more...]
Hockanum River Trail 22: Franklin Street
Goose Steppin' Hockanum River Trail: Franklin Street Trail, Vernon & Ellington ~.75 mile one way, March 2019 If you are reading these Hockanum River Trails south to north you have already read... there's no single way to hike the Ellington trails, so I have no idea where you've come from.

Sharon Land Trust Intro

East Granby Land Trust Trails Intro
East Granby Land Trust Trails East Granby is just... East Granby. It's not all fancified like Granby with its "North Granby" and "West Granby" frou-frou. No, East Granby just goes hard by itself. East. Gran. By. Which is cool and all but the East Granby Land Trust doesn't provide maps online (as of mid-2019) … [Read more...]
Redding Land Trust Intro
Redding Land Trust Redding & Bethel Hoo boy, Redding has not made this easy on me. In the past, one had to go to Redding and find Redding’s “Book of Trails” in order to have any clue where to hike. In 2019, the town/land trust put the book online, making my life much easier. (This, after driving out there to buy … [Read more...]

I Love This House Seven Steps Falls, Burlington May 2015 This is a Burlington Land Trust property. It is private, but you can be granted access by contacting the Trust.
