Morris’s Town Trails
Morris’s Town Trails You know what's funny? That the White Memorial Conservation Center and its vast network of trails is always associated with Litchfield when in fact, half of the place is in Morris. The area is hugely popular with hikers, kayakers, naturalists, etc... yet I've never heard anyone say, "let's go … [Read more...]
Franklin’s Town Trails
Franklin’s Town Trails You may rightly ask why I do introductory pages for towns that have one or two trails. (To clarify, Franklin has more than these trails, but the others are on land owned by non-Franklin entities.) I do it because: a) I started doing it years ago and can't stop now, b) Towns like … [Read more...]

Shelton’s Town Trails Intro
Shelton’s Town Trails I've written introductions for many land trusts and town trail compendiums for this site. They don't really serve as anything other than tables of contents, and the stuff I write on these pages is rarely read by anyone.

Section 13: "Hike Like a Monkey!" Hatchett Hill Rd to Route 20, 2.3 miles September 1, 2018 Has it really been almost a year since our last Metacomet section hike? Yes. But I don't care. This day may have been the first opportunity to hike with Hoang in that intervening 11 months! And I'm glad we took … [Read more...]
Litchfield Land Trust
Litchfield Land Trust When most people think of Litchfield, they think of the downtown area. All the bustling restaurants and cool little curio shops, bounded by the historic green and the perfect white churches. And when most people think of “the Litchfield hills,” they think of the Berkshires to the northwest … [Read more...]

Tomasso Nature Park
You Say Tomasso, I Say This Place Makes Me Cynical Tomasso Nature Park, Plainville July 2018 Let me start off by saying that there are some wonderful hikes in Plainville. You may not think so, but there are. And the Tomasso Nature Park is a lovely place to walk. It is. But there's just something off about it to … [Read more...]
