Summary

Please join me for this 9-mile RT, 1200'+ elevation gain hike in the far northwest of CT. Hopefully the mountain laurel will be in full bloom and, if so, should be spectacular. Stunning views from both Lion's Head and the summit of Bear Mtn (highest peak in CT at 2316'). Per usual, please wear sturdy hiking shoes/boots, wear clothing layers apropriate to the forecast and bring whatever snacks/lunch/water/beverages will sustain you for the hike. Raindate Sunday 20 June.
