This spring I’ve gone bike riding, roller blading and hiking. I’m gonna make one good looking corpse!
Today, Helaine and I walked up the Tower Trail to the castle atop Sleeping Giant Mountain. It’s 1.6 miles in each direction. That’s not too bad.
There’s also a vertical climb of 700 feet, That is bad. Think 70 story building… no elevator.
The weather was interesting, to say the least. We had sunshine and clouds and even a few sprinkles. Temperatures were well below average for this time of year, topping out in the 50°s.
I’m not a fan of graffiti, but someone left a little message at the top of the castle I found intriguing. I wonder what was on Rachel’s mind?
If you’re looking for a nicer hike, try the trails up the back side around the swamp and gorge, or even hike in from the Wallingford side. A bit more advanced terrain than the tower trail, but great fun…http://www.sgpa.org/colormap.pdf
Very nice pics geoff. Have you thought about turning the pics you take into postcards.
