Nine of us ventured out to find the "Grand Canyon" of Norwich! We were not impressed with the hype in the name but a nice walk on a cold day. It was 17 earlier and in the low 20s when we started out but once you go up and down the various brooks in these woodlands you warm up fast! Many smaller brook crossings but the trail is a continuation of the one we did last week so it follows the brown brook and the road so you can't get lost. Not sure if we took all the right trails but it didn't matter as the woods were so peaceful and open this time of year. Myra, our tree hugger hiker knows her trees and is teaching us how to identify trees in winter. The grand canyon is a ravine or gorge of modest proportions!
The trail signs are identified by minutes or hours to them, not miles. Looking for a map to figure out where we did go today. We started at parking lot 5 off of School House Lane but never found a cross trail that was suppose to be 1.3 hours in.
Here is a photo of us taken by Kate.

Next week Pine Park Trail in Hanover. Rifle hunting season so off the major wood trails for 3 weeks!
