Please join us for this Traprock Ridge Hiking Club hike with TRLC volunteer Dave Mogul. The planned hike is mostly a loop of 2 to 3 miles using trails in the park and on the Metacomet trail. The hike is expected to take 2-3 hours, depending on our group’s pace.
This is a moderately easy hike, with few inclines and fairly stable footing. Several spots on the ridgeline allow for views of the surrounding area as well as potentially some larger birds gliding on the wind currents.
Be aware that mosquitoes and other bugs are likely to be joining us, and that there are several areas that are exposed to the sun, so please prepare accordingly.
We’ll meet at the end of the cul-de-sac on Wintonbury Road in Simsbury (off of Terry’s Plain Road) and depart at 9:00 am.
Alternate date of June 17 if we need to reschedule. Contact Dave Mogul at hikes@trlandconservancy.org with any questions.

For this hike, led by TRLC volunteer Dave Mogul, we will be exploring one or more of the trails in Ethel Walker Woods, and then visiting the ice cream stand at Tulmeadow Farm.
This will be a combination of one loop and one out-and-back trail totaling about 4 miles, and it’s expected to take 3-4 hours, depending on our group’s pace, and how long we stop for ice cream.
It is a relatively easy hike, with a mostly flat trail, and with a limited number of shorter inclines. Our plan is to stop for ice cream at Tulmeadow Farm after completing the first portion of our hike in Ethel Walker Woods, likely on the Orange trail, and the first half of the Tulmeadow Farm and Woodlot trail.
Note that parts of the latter portion of the hike will be in open fields, so sun protection may be desired. We’ll depart 10:30 a.m. from the Town Forest Park parking lot, meeting near the Information Kiosk with the trail map.
Given the potential number of participants, we’re strongly urging interested hikers to sign up in advance.
Alternate date of July 18 if we need to reschedule. Contact Dave Mogul at hikes@trlandconservancy.org with any questions. Co-sponsored by Simsbury Land Trust.
