Allamuchy Mountain State Park, Sussex County, New Jersey
Interested in visiting a park we had not visited previously, I selected Allamuchy Mountain State Park, in Sussex County. Despite the name, we found the park to be very flat. We began our hike on the white-blazed Deer Path Trail, … Continue reading
Trout Brook Valley, Fairfield County, Connecticut
We drove to Connecticut to visit Trout Brook Valley conservation area, where I had visited four years previously. I refer readers to that earlier post to learn more about the park and trails. This visit was similar to the last … Continue reading
Sourland Mountain Preserve, Somerset County, New Jersey
Today we drove to Sourland Mountain Preserve, a 3025 acre county park, where we enjoyed a late Fall day with temperatures in the upper 60s! It was nice to hike with a short sleeved shirt this time of year. The … Continue reading
Shore Parkway Greenway (western section), Brooklyn, Kings County, New York
We had a previous hike of the western section of the Shore Parkway Greenway about a year before, and decided to repeat the walk on this day. The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge looked about the same as always: This is non-powered barge … Continue reading
Laraway Mountain, Long Trail State Forest, Lamoille County, Vermont
Monday: I had initially hoped that we would be able to climb the five highest peaks on our first visit to Vermont, but we had to cut short our hike at Camel’s Hump (third highest peak) due to rain and … Continue reading
Mount Mansfield, Chittenden County, Vermont
Friday: We decided to tackle Mount Mansfield, which at 4,393′ is the highest point in Vermont. The mountain is only about a ten minute drive from Stowe. 10:56 a.m.: We parked at the Gondola Base Lodge, at around 1,500′ elevation. … Continue reading
Killington Peak, Rutland County, Vermont
Thursday: We drove south to hike at Killington Peak, which at 4,229′ elevation is the second highest mountain in Vermont. Whereas Camel’s Hump–which we had attempted to hike earlier in the week–is undeveloped, Killington has a restaurant at the summit, … Continue reading
Camel’s Hump State Park, Chittenden & Washington Counties, Vermont
On Sunday, August 2, we drove up to Stowe, Vermont for a ten-day vacation (eight full days in Vermont and two travel days). We checked into the Stowe Motel & Snowdrift, with Stowe being a popular ski resort that is … Continue reading
Ramapo Mountain State Forest, Bergen & Passaic Counties, New Jersey
We visited Ramapo Mountain State Forest, a 4200 acre forest primarily in Bergen County, New Jersey, with a small percentage of the land in Passaic County. While this was my first visit, the forest is quite close (in distance and … Continue reading
Devil’s Den Preserve, Fairfield County, Connecticut
This was my second trip to Devil’s Den, so for a better write-up of the park and its history, see my post for the first trip. We began the hike along the Pent Trail and Saugatuck Trail. I didn’t take … Continue reading
