After work hike Rattlesnake Mt. Farmington, CT

I am running my after work hikes for the season. Please know that these events are all levels-beginners welcome. The hikes are shorter and less technical from my normal weekend hikes. We finish before 8:00 p.m.

This will be an out and back hike to the top of Rattlesnake Mountain. This climb will take us past the channel 30 antennae towers, Will Warren's den, and the summit with views of Hartford.

The entire length of this hike is 4.5 miles. We get out of the cars and climb immediately. The trail is a bit narrow so we will look a lot like a conga line on this event.

This will be a great excuse to get out sweat a little after work. Very doable terrain for all levels due to the short distance. Hiking boots are recommended for this event.

Dogs are ok on leashes. Please bring water, snacks (you are burning calories), bug spray, if you have a headlamp please bring it in your pack.

If you get off Rt. 84 exit 38, for route 6, head route 6 west. Approximately 2 miles out you crest a hill. There is a parking on the south side of the road. If you get to Reservoir Rd you went to far. You will see me and all the parking. There are no restrooms. Use the D and D at the corner of Finneman Rd.
Items you must consider for every event:

• If you have an event after a hike, please do not sign up for the hike.
• End times are only an estimate.
• The group will not adjust speed or trail route to accommodate your schedule.
• If you cannot attend an event, please cancel 48 hours before. Late cancellations take away the option for others to join the event.
• Be a good hiking human.
