Tunxis Black Dot (Nature Center Connector)
Black (Dot) Power! Nature Center Connector, 2.5 miles November 16, 2008 2015 Update: A few of the Tunxis Trails in Burlington got a makeover in 2014, but not this one. So changes on this page are relatively few, thank goodness. But I’ve made them and now this page makes sense with the current trail revisions. … [Read more...]
Pennsylvania: Mount Davis
Highpoint # 14 Mount Davis, 3,213 feet (33rd highest) November 20, 2004 Drizzle, fog, coalmines, steel mills, mud, barren winterscapes and Amish people do not usually make for an exciting road trip. But in the case of bagging Pennsylvania's (as well as Maryland's and West Virginia's) highpoint, it … [Read more...]

McLean Game Refuge Trails
McLean Game Refuge Simsbury/Granby, about 13 Miles total October 2008 & July 2018 One of the nicer and more popular hiking areas in north-central Connecticut, McLean has always been a bit of a bugaboo for me.
