2.66 miles ★★★½ this is an avalonia land conservancy property in north stonington. it includes a pretty little brook, some very cool glacial erratics, and lots of old stone walls. however, i can’t express how much i hate walking on the thick carpet of leaves that obscures the trails. very annoying. not that i’m expecting […]

5.81 miles ★★★★★ fair warning: i will be doing more than my share of whining about this hike, but believe me, ultimately, they are all minor quibbles. it’s a beautiful hike. first whine? the narragansett trail. whoever first laid this trail out must have searched high and low for every single boulder field and abandoned […]

★★★★ very nice. fairly clearly marked trails. about 80:20 hikey:walkey, with some serious climby parts, but they are worth it, because you get up to tipping rock (below). came to about 2 miles. there’s a geocache near the cemetery, but i didn’t find it. didn’t really look for it, because it was windy and cold.
