"Holcombe I Can't Keep Him?" Holcombe Preserve, Granby May 2018 As of this writing, there are four signature trailed properties of the Granby Land Trust. Sure, they have a bunch of other parcels, some even trailed - and one containing the state's coolest tree. But the land trust focuses on their true gems. … [Read more...]

McLean Game Refuge: Pine Cone Trail
McDone Granby, ~3 miles, solo July 21, 2018 Y'know... I've given McLean the business over the last decade for some of their policies. Notably, that they "disallow" any trails to connect in to their property and trails. This is a terrible policy because McLean is literally surrounded by some incredible trailed … [Read more...]
Ledge Road Connector Trail
Oh Boy. Ledge Road Connector Trail & Boy Rock/Great Stone Face Sunset Rock State Park, Plainville July 2018 Cutting to the chase - the purpose of this page's existence really has nothing to do with the trail of the title. I've hiked this trail before, way back in 2007 with Hoang. When I edited that page in … [Read more...]
Other Granby Land Trust Properties
A Whole Slew of Granby Goodness "Other" GLT Trails, Granby Spring/Summer 2018 I have hiked many, many wonderful miles within Granby Land Trust properties. It holds a special place in my heart because it was at a GLT property (The Godard Preserve) where a young Damian got over some of his phobias. As I wrap … [Read more...]
Holcomb Farm (East)
All it Takes is a Ninja Holcomb Farm (East), Granby April 2018 Anyone who has read more than a few pages on this website knows my older son has some very challenging special needs.

Middlebury Land Trust Intro
Middlebury Land Trust Middlebury What’s up, Middlebury? How are you doing? Good? Good. Hey, I have a suggestion. I think there are some decent trails in town, but finding them online has been quite difficult. Your town website is useless, so my Middlebury Town Trail page is... sparse. Perhaps that reflects … [Read more...]
Middlebury’s Town Trails
Middlebury’s Town Trails I can’t pretend (at the time of this writing) that this page is the full list of Middlebury Town Trailage. After doing a hundred of these types of intro pages on CTMQ, Middlebury is proving to be as difficult as any. But I accept the challenge – and I look to you, fair Middleburyites, … [Read more...]
Mountain Laurel Sanctuary
Peak Failage Mountain Laurel Sanctuary, Nipmuck State Forest, Union July 2018 On New Years Eve Day in 2016, I visited this place with my son Calvin. Who visits a Mountain Laurel Sanctuary in the dead of winter? We do... but we merely drove through it then to attain the all-important highest point in Windham … [Read more...]
Holcomb Farm (West)
Woods in Woods Holcomb Farm (West), Granby April 2018 It's always fun when three generations of Woods can get out into the woods together. (My last name is Wood.) Such was the case in early April 2018 when my parents were visiting for Calvin's 7th birthday. I'm sure Granddad wanted nothing more than to hike a few … [Read more...]
