CTMQ in the Hauser Hauser Nature Preserve, Litchfield November 2022 Ooohhhh, I don't know. This is one of those trails and hikes that are there and therefore I walked it.

Finch Brook Preserve
Mario HiKarting Finch Brook Preserve, Wolcott November 2022 This trail is bonkers. Really and truly bonkers. It is a designed as a 2.6 mile go-kart track... but for hiking. You will get dizzy walking the loop. You will have visions of "cheating" by cutting corners. You will read poetry and cross into Waterbury for … [Read more...]
Hopp Brook Falls
Hopp, Hopp Hopp Brook Falls, Bethany November 2022 Not to be confused with the much more famous Hop River in eastern Connecticut, Bethany's Hopp Brook has its own charms.

Horace B. Clark Woods
Trails Schmails New England Forestry Foundation's Horace B. Clark Woods, Hartland November 2022 I doubt very much that you are familiar with the New England Forestry Foundation.

Linda J. Rapoport Memorial Preserve
For Linda Wyndham Land Trust's Linda J. Rapoport Memorial Preserve, Woodstock October 2022 The story of this property and hike has nothing in the world to do with the trail and hike. The story here is all about family, love, and a family's love for each other - and for sustainable farming. First off, I love … [Read more...]
Washington’s Town Trails
Washington's Town Trails Washington is a beautiful town in the Litchfield foothills. There are beautiful hikes in Washington; among the best in the state. So I, like you, find it a little odd that the town itself doesn't really have any trails that I'm aware of. Did the state and Steep Rock get all the good stuff? … [Read more...]
