4.5 miles; Stamford, CT Another hike down in the DEEP’s Sky’s the Limit Hiking Challenge. A fellow blogger told me this park wasn’t especially exciting, but that I’d see many multi-million dollar houses, and he was right about that. Stamford is a pretty toney part of Connecticut.

4.25 miles; Old Saybrook, CT I have had this spot on my list for a long time… ever since reading a Hartford Courant article about it. Finally got there and there was a trail closure, so I’m gonna keep it on my list, I guess. But it was still a very interesting walk. Lots of elevation […]
