About this event

Please join me for this early spring 6-mile, 800' elevation gain loop hike through the woodlands of this lovely park in northwesten CT.  From the park's main parking lot, we'll ascend via the Robert Ross Trail to 2 spectacular viewpoints looking south and north across the valley and the Farmington River flowing below.  We'll return via the Jesse Gerard and Agnes Bowen Trails.  Please wear layers appropriate for the forecast and wear sturdy hiking shoes/boots - the terrain is often rocky and might be wet in sections.  Bring a lunch and snacks and plenty of water.  I expect we'll be back to our cars between 3 & 4PM.  See the CT State Parks website for further information on the park and a trail map: https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/State-Parks/Forests/American-Legion-and-Peoples-State-Forests.  FYI: MASKS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED ON THIS HIKE AND I WILL NOT BE WEARING A MASK.
