Hartland | Tunxis State Forest


2.5mile loop hike. Park and start along rt 20, head north.

Followed northbound Tunxis Trail blue blazes for about 1.2 miles. The wind was howling as it would on a mountain top. Not many views but loved the variation of roots/rocks/leaves/elevation/moss/stone – typical new england trail terrain.

Forgot my sneakers, so I picked up carhart socks and hiked in those. Acorns and mixed size rocks were the most painful to walk on. Moss covered rock was the softest, my favorite.

Distance: 2.51mi

Time: 55:39 (hiking in socks…)

Elevation Gain: 470ft
