Fox Parcel of the Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park

We were in New York for Ohana and stopped for a nice stroll on the way. You can get more info about the trail here: https://www.wiltonpreserve.org/the-lands/fox-parcel It was a nice flat hike and I didn’t really look at the map. Some of the trails were close, but we did get some exercise, even if Lina

Colorado, Easy Hikes

Hiking Stats

Now that I have a fancy new GPS, I decided to make some year-end summaries. It turns out I’ve been using Garmin products since 2008. I was a little annoyed when I had to replace my super-expensive, high-end GPS watch last year because it was getting buggy, but I bought it in 2012. It almost

Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail

This was a wonderful hike/walk with great views and ended up at yet another great beach not mentioned anywhere I looked.! Highly recommended. Mahaulepu Coastal Trail is a special part of Kauai History Heritage sight and the last stretch of accessible coastline on the south shore that has not been developed. Malama Mahaulepu is helping

Iliau Nature Loop & Kukui Trail

I wasn’t able to do any hiking the last time we were in Kauai, so I made a point of bringing my hiking boots and told Lina I would be going out every other day. Once we finally got settled on the island, I started to notice warnings all over telling us to be careful

Turtle Bay Trails

This trail was next to the Airbnb where we were staying and it turned out to be a nice quiet walk. I would definitely consider staying in this resort because it had one of the few places you could snorkel on the north shore in December, and we found a perfect little beach at the

Kaʻena Point Trail

I brought my hiking boots to Hawaii so I could do some hiking and we really only had time to get this quick hike in. The views were spectacular and I was excited to sea the seal sleeping on the mini beach. We didn’t realize that there was going to be a nature preserve at

Walker Ranch Trail Loop

This was supposed to be one of the easier trails I still have to do from the hike from 60 Hikes within 60 miles. According to my notes, this was supposed to be a a 7.66 mile hike with around 400ft of elevation gain.. which should be no big deal for me right now. I

Golden Gate Canyon State Park: Mountain Lion Trail

This was another hike from60 Hikes within 60 miles. It was a nice pleasant hike I’d do again. I’d like to explore some of the off trails in the future because the scenery is exactly what you’d expect from a mountain trail. Seldom visited, Golden Gate Canyon State Park is just outside Golden and 25
