Please join us for a weekday hike with TRLC member, Dave Mogul, at the Tarrifville Gorge in East Granby. We’ll be hiking on the Metacomet trail, starting alongside the Farmington River, and then ascending to scenic views of the river and the surrounding areas. This moderate out-and-back hike with a number of inclines and some rocky stretches, is about 3 miles, taking 2 -3 hours.
Check the website for postings or cancellation. Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring water. Hiking poles and hiking boots are encouraged for the uneven terrain.
Park on Route 189 at the intersection with Old Hartford Road just north of Tarrifville. There is ample parking on the northbound shoulder past the Metacomet trail marker.
This hike is co-sponsored by Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy and Simsbury Land Trust.
