CT Appalachian Trail to Bull's Bridge

Join us for a moderate there-and-back-again 6.5 mile hike via the Appalachian Trail in western CT. We'll hike near the western border of CT and then along the ragin' Housatonic River. There will be beautiful views of the Housatonic River valley, and a great mid-river viewpoint on an island where we'll have our lunch stop within sight of Bull's Bridge covered bridge and the nearby falls. Expect rocky trails and one long sustained hill climb each way.

This will be a joint event with Sundance Outdoor, an LGBT outdoors group based in NYC.

If there's interest afterward we can go into nearby Gaylordsville for drinks or an after-hike meal.

Equipment: Sturdy hiking shoes. Water - at least two liters. Trail lunch. Hiking poles if needed. Trail map. Fully charged cell phone. Plan to dress for spring hiking conditions, and avoid cotton.

Weather: Heavy or all day rain cancels; a shower doesn't.
