This hike, led by TRLC volunteer Dave Mogul, is a loop of 2 to 3 miles using trails in the park and on the Metacomet trail. This is a moderately easy hike expected to take 2-3 hours with few inclines and fairly stable footing. Several spots on the ridgeline allow for views of the surrounding area as well as potentially some larger birds gliding on the wind currents. Mosquitoes and other bugs are likely to be joining us, and there are several areas exposed to the sun. We’ll depart at 9:00 am from the parking area at the northern end of the Metacomet Trail in Penwood State Park at the end of the cul-de-sac on Mountain Road off of Elm Street in Tariffville. Parking is along the road shoulders. Alternate date of June 17 if we need to reschedule. Contact Dave Mogul at hikes@trlandconservancy.org with any questions. Co-sponsored by Simsbury Land Trust.
