Tippecansett Trail North

5.25 miles  2.7 mph yes, i just spent the previous post wingeing about my sore legs and my blister and my strained left knee. that does not mean i wasn’t eager to get back out and do it again. this was my first amc meet-up hike, and i had a very nice time. the leader […]

Canonchet Brook Preserve

4.93 miles   2.6 mph it’s been such a long time since i did this hike i’d forgotten what a pretty place this preserve is. that’s not to say i enjoyed the 2+ miles of road walking or the wild, blazed but not well-traveled part in the beginning, but if you plan it so you […]

Rockville Management Area Loop

3.39 miles   ★★★½ this is the blue pond/ashville pond loop that i did back in may. i also did the narragansett trail stretch of this last month, as part of the long pond hike. it’s still one of the prettiest hikes in rhode island… at least, the part that is in the woods. unfortunately, the […]
