Go Take a Hike This time of year is perfect to go out and get fresh air and enjoy the Southern New England spring.  The sights, sounds, and smells are amazing if we just take a little time out of our busy days to enjoy them.  Walking trails are one of the most treasured and underutilized resources in our state.  You can find easy paved paths to challenging climbs.
