The Mountains of South Kingstown

4.64 miles; south kingstown, ri or as it’s actually known, duval trail. but seriously, for a trail in south kingstown, this sure is challenging. lotta long hills and climbing. it’s a really beautiful trail, though, so worth it. and at one point you even get a view of block island on clear days. yeah, squint. it’s […]

yet another gorgeous day in rhode island! this is a beautiful refuge, although the trail system is small. small suited me just fine today, and my ankle felt pretty good the whole 2 1/4 miles. and since this is another federal property, the trails are all pretty flat and accessible. also, again, federal property = […]

What a Difference a Week Makes—Duval Trail

3.6 miles   2.3 mph whew, much warmer this week. it was 47, not 7, when i got up this morning. unfortunately, there was still a lot of ice on the trail itself, which was also awash in meltwalter, making for a very tricky hike. and muddy; my pants were black from the knees down! […]
