Best Hikes of 2018

Check out for my favorite hikes of 2018 spanning across the Northeast in New York, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. And, a special hike during my trip to Missouri. Every hike is unique in its own way. These are the hikes that I highly recommend you should explore.

Rattlesnake Mountain to Pinnacle Rock via Metacomet Trail, Farmington, CT

Rattlesnake Mountain to Pinnacle Rock via Metacomet Trail, Farmington, CT

We headed on the trail to our left toward the Rattlesnake Cliffs. The trail starts out flat then begins to switchback up the side of the mountain. After a half mile in, the trail will ascend uphill and the terrain is rockier. We passed lots of large rock boulders as we got closer to the cliffs. This particular trail was very well-marked. We eventually came across the boulder rock cave known as Will Warren’s Den, which I later found out was a historical site.
