So, yesterday I decided I could not wait any longer to try hiking in my barefoot shoes. Connecticut is the land of the day hikes (unless you're hiking the Appalachain Trail) and on my way home I stopped along the Housatonic River to climb one of my favorite little hills.
Pine Knob Hill is a loop off of the AT, and for it's brevity it's a fun (and moderately strenuous) climb.
The views are great; two different overlooks face the Housatonic River, which is especially beautiful during fall foliage season. Once you've hit the two peaks, the trail comes down along a waterfall, and with the peace and quiet of the woods, the noise of the water is the perfect way to end a soothing hike.
And the barefoot shoes were great! Flashback to being five years old, running through the woods, pretending to be an Indian. So happy.
