5.91 miles; hopkinton and westerly, ri

i started this hike from the hopkinton side today, because i wasn’t sure the blue trail on the westerly side was open yet.

corn is up

the white-blazed tomaquag trail starts out alongside two large cornfields, and the late corn is up.

more purple coral fungus

yeah, fungus shot. couldn’t help myself. it’s such a cool color.

polly coon bridge

the hopkinton side of the grills is a nice workout, with lots of steep ups and downs and a couple of tricksy water crossings before you get to the polly coon bridge to cross over to the westerly side.

new kedinker island bridge

well, happy birthday me, the new bridge was up and the trail is open! did a little happy dance on the new deck and everything.

wild “life”

and finally, weird stuff that you see on the trail #387…

you can find the hopkinton and westerly grills in the hikefinder. trailhead, auntie’s trail map.
