Ahhhhh…. Winter is upon us again – sweet!  I was lucky enough to have two snow days this week – Tuesday and Wednesday.  I couldn’t assume we would not have school on Wednesday (3/14) but when we cancelled I decided I was going to get outside after doing a little bit of work from home.  Not wanting to travel far I decided I would do a six mile loop in Wells State Park.

I tend to overlook the areas closest to home, in part because they don’t offer the challenge, complexity and rigorous hike I so enjoy.  That said, I didn’t want to travel far and I wanted some fresh air, the scent of spring mixed with a splash of winter, so I settled on Wells State Park just 15 minutes from my home.

This is what I would call a family friendly summer campground with a built in hike for little kids, lol.  It offers a nice loop trail with a small summit that looks eastward towards Boston.  On a clear day you can make out the skyscrapers.  It was just enough for today and a brilliant mid-week escape with little effort other than breaking trail.  Sweet!!
