Description: Continuing a series of mostly moderate hikes covering all of the CT AT (sections averaging 5-8 miles each), this approx. 7-7 .5-mile hike (avg. pace 1.8-2 mph) starts on north side of W. Cornwall Rd. in Sharon. With lots of ups and downs, the trail begins with an ascent through the boulders of Roger's Ramp with Southeast views of Housatonic River Valley. It then ascends along the Southwest shoulder of Mt. Easter (1390') with Westerly views, proceeding on a ridge to Northwest views from Hang Glider View. For some of our time, we'll both hear and see below us in Lakeville historic Lime Rock Park, one of America's oldest continuously operated motor road racing circuits (opened in 1957). A long moderate descent follows to Rte. 7 and a pleasant walk along the Housatonic River to our cars. Rain and/or extreme heat cancels; RAIN DATE: August 3. No dogs, please. Bring snacks and plenty of water. REGISTRATION WILL BE LIMITED due to small parking areas at both trailheads (car spotting is required.). Leader will provide more details and exact parking directions to registered hikers the day before the hike morning.
