Meet other local hiking enthusiasts as a group of friends exploring, learning, and having fun on the trail and occasionally other ways. Besides hiking we sometimes do: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, biking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, camping, etc.
We range all over CT, central to western MA, and sometimes southern NY. Occasionally we make trips further out typically to central and northern NY, VT, NH, and ME.

11 Yes / 5 Maybe
A 2 mile looping hike of higher difficulty for the first half to get the juices flowing and to pay for the Thanksgiving feast later in the day. For the first half we'll hike up the steep grade of the Giant's head and do clifftop hiking to the backside of the head and back down again. We'll return on the dirt road for an easy conclusion to the hike.
Meet at the parking lot across from Quinnipiac University at 9 AM. Read more

“I enjoy hiking with my Golden Retrievers and would like to meet others that enjoy being outside exploring new beauty. Would like to hike more often and believe if I join others I will be more commited to my health and the wonders of outdoors.” -
