CT: Southbury: Kettletown Park (Hiking)
I researched for an easy, short but scenic trail due to an injury preventing me from strenuous athletics. So on a perfect June day with no humidity and 70 degrees, I found Brook Trail. Kettletown Park is a CT State park free to CT residents in Southbury. The brook had so much character throughout withContinue reading “CT: Southbury: Kettletown Park (Hiking)”
NY: Catskills- Peekamoose Bluehole
For a couple of years I read about a small swimming hole with a blue glow within the NY Catskill preserve. It would get so busy that now it requires reservations and is manned to ensure it’s kept clean. I met a really nice 25 year old ranger named Eli who checked us in. HeContinue reading “NY: Catskills- Peekamoose Bluehole”

A little bit of Europe in CT walking along the Naugatuck Greenway on Housatonic River. The greenway starts in Derby and is planned for 44 miles to Torrington. I walked a while and found several routes and signs of spring with the weeping willow starting to green and trees filled with cardinals and orioles. ThereContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Naugatuck Greenway & Indian Wells”
CT: Hartford County- Blackledge Falls (Winter)
I stood in the center of Blackledge Falls in Glastonbury, CT which was literally frozen in time. I included myself in the shot for scale. It’s Connecticut’s natural ice castles and is truly amazing to see. About 1/2 mile hike from the lot but it is a steep decline to the falls so must wearContinue reading “CT: Hartford County- Blackledge Falls (Winter)”
CT: New Haven County- Milford (Winter Waterfalls)
The temperature was 7 with a windchill of below zero. One of my go to activities on such days are finding easy waterfalls to go see. Fortunately, Duck Pond Falls in Milford fit the bill! But baby was it cold outside! I was fascinated by the different ice formations created by the falls. The waterContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Milford (Winter Waterfalls)”
CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)
Our temperature is neck to neck with Anchorage Alaska today at 25 degrees which I felt within the icy chasms of Southford Falls. I was surprised to find ice fishing, hockey and kids out ice skating on the pond. I would worry about weaknesses in the ices depth but they all were having a greatContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)”

With the first snow of the year I wondered where I could go for the biggest bang for my buck! Litchfield County it was! A great and manageable day with multiple stops and awesome views!

MA- Berkshires- Shelburne Falls
Along the Mohawk Trail you’ll find Shelburne Falls. Such a quaint small town with its famous and beautiful Bridge of Flowers. The hospitality at Shelburne Falls could only be matched by the beauty and care taken at the Bridge of Flowers with the changing colors on the mountain in the background. In addition to theContinue reading “MA- Berkshires- Shelburne Falls”
