Join us at the Speer Preserve annual outing. This short trail connects to more remote sections of MDC Reservoir 6 and Talcott Mountain State Park, which can feel very much like one is in the deep woods. The route is easy-to-moderate and will last 1.5 to 2 hours. Snowshoes are recommended if we have snow, or if not, waterproof hiking boots and poles.

Meet at the cul-de-sac at the top of Juniper Road in Bloomfield. Check Facebook or the website for postings or cancellation. (Photo by Paula Jones)
