West Rock Ridge

This isn't exactly about hiking, but I've been biking (only one letter off) around West Rock Ridge park lately, and it's pretty nice. The last two times I've been up there, I've biked up to the Judges' Cave and the South Overlook. Today, at one of the lookout areas at the South Overlook, a Red-tail Hawk flew in and perched on a treetop not more than 25 feet from where I was sitting. It was a pretty impressive sight. After a few minutes he glided off down the hill.

Next time I go out there, I'm going to take a right into the park away from the Cave and Overlook and see where that goes.

Ragged Mountain Pics

We went up to Ragged Mountain over the weekend. It was GORGOUS, though chilly and windy at times. It's very rocky up there, so lots to roll your ankles on!

A few of our group had climbed up there before, and they have better details in the previous posts.

Beautiful view of the lake!Russ conquering the world.John and some pretty CT blue sky.
Nick! Don't jump!
I think too much.
