1.13 miles 2.4 mph very short but very cool hike with a friend through this amazing property. the trail literally went boulder-hopping at one point, and we’re not talking tiny bolders. it was lots of fun. lots and lots of swamp azalea in bloom on this trail. this is such a beautiful shrub, and […]

5 miles 2.1 mph i wanted a loop hike, and since the pachaug trail doesn’t really lend itself to loop hikes, i added in various mountain bike paths and old woods roads to make it a loop, with predictably mixed results. the blue-blazed pachaug trail through here is rugged and beautiful, the rest not […]

3.89 miles 2.1 mph same kind of hike as the last one, as in moderate elevation changes; from maybe 150 feet to almost 500 feet and back. this was kind of a scruffy little state forest with a nice up and down loop and some decent views at the top and very well-marked trails. […]

4.44 miles 2.4 mph did a quick out-and-back because i’m still nursing a sore muscle in my calf. the first part of this trail was on the blue-blazed pachaug trail, and aside from the usual atv and dirt bike damage, both of these trails were really interesting. they went through an abandoned farm and […]
