Hiking at Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary

🌲 Hey Trailblazers! Jackie Here 👋
Let’s kick off Sunday, October 26th with fresh air, good vibes, and a scenic trek in Oxford, CT! 🥾💚
We’re heading to Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary for a ~3-mile loop combining the Blue Trail and White/Yellow Trail. Expect lovely forest paths, gentle ups/downs, and plenty of space to chat and connect. Plan for about 1.5 hours at a relaxed pace.
🗓️ Date: Sunday, October 26th
🕙 Time: Meet at 10:00 AM sharp — we’ll start walking by 10:10 AM
📍 Location: Rockhouse Hill Sanctuary, Oxford, CT (exact meetup pin will be shared before the hike)
🚗 Parking: Will be shared before the hike.
🐾 The Pace + The Pup:
We set a friendly, conversational pace led by our slowest hiker (often me 🙋‍♀️). Lucy—my sweet, social, slightly show-offy pup—may try to take point 🐶💨.
🌿 Why Join?
A dose of forest bathing 🛁🌳, movement, confidence boosts, and new connections. Come hike, laugh, and enjoy the magic of the woods.
