Rail Trail - Cloudy and Cold!

Went for a quick walk on the Rail Trail today... It was cold and cloudy!

cute!

This is the way down to (former) Coyote Bridge!

Heading back up on my trail. connector

Snowy Red Trail Hike - Pequonnock Valley

I took a very pleasant and sunny hike on the Red Trail this afternoon--everything was sparkling!  I started from the south and went a bit past the second stream where the Red merges with the Yellow for a short bit.

I headed back on the White...

I finally pulled out my refreshment :-)

Snow!!! Woodway was a Winter Wonderland

Amidst the snow flurries, I hiked up to Woodway and snowshoed on my trail. I even met someone else who was snowshoeing there as well - we had a nice chat :-)

Woodway

Geese overhead!

Another Visit to Bradley and a new Trail discovered in Wilton!

A sunny day for a change - always good to get out in the woods!

Bradley Park 

There's more trails here than I noticed years back - I hiked the Yellow off to the left by the entrance and GPSd it. Trailforks map shots indicate where I was.

At the end of the spur (Old Farm Road)

Near this intersection

I took the Yellow (northward)

Ah yes - I remember this climb...

The Beer Break

I found a spot to sit--snowfree--and crack open a relaxing beer...

The rock location :-)

Map Kiosk at the entrance (see my reflection?)

Kinda cool (across the street)

Trail Discovery In Wilton

I noticed a "bridge to nowhere" behind the Wilton Commuter lot and checked out the trail

end of the line!
