Back To Gay City State Park in Hebron, CT

October 23, 2008

Today was absolutely gorgeous. It was the perfect day for a hike, so that’s exactly what we did.

We jumped in the car and took a trip over to Gay City State Park. We have been to this park before, but missed one trail. Today was the day we were going to complete the entire trail system at this park. Last time, we nearly died from heat stroke, so we weren’t able to make it all the way around the red trail. We had to cut up the yellow trail. I remember my face tingling when we were about half way done. Man, what a day.

Today was different. It was about 50 degrees outside and perfectly clear. The leaves were all crunchy and there was no one around.

We walked down the yellow trail and hooked up with the red trail for about a 2 mile hike. Just long enough to get some exercise.

Of course, I had my camera on me. I wouldn’t want to let you down…

    Hi,
    I grew up in Hebron and lived in CT until 2003 ( now in California ), I stumbled upon your blog site by typing Mountain biking in Hebron in Google. Your pictures really brought me back to some of the areas I use to frequent. Especially Gay City, Devil Hopyard, and Grayville park. These areas have good memories for me and it was really nice to see them again. I was surprised to see you didn’t have any pictures of Salmon River Colchester / Marlborough / East Hampton area. Thanks for reuniting me with some hometown favorites.

    My pleasure Baltazar. I am sure that I will get more photos of the area in the future. The parks are great and we still have yet to see many of them.
