The Best Christmas Lights in Connecticut
Просмотров 426Год назад
Every year Connecticut hosts a bunch of spectacular Christmas lights. Some are free and some are not. Indoors, outdoors, drive throughs and more. The only thing I didn't go check out this year are the incredible light displays families display at their own homes. We start off by checking out the lantern festival at the Beardsley zoo, and while it's not exactly Christmas lights it's still amazin...

    So on Falls Bashan rd in Moodus CT there is a huge waterfall in the woods off of the little portion of falls rd. There is a huge dam and old mill past the falls along the moodus river. There is the small waterfall that goes from the reservoir to the river. It travels under the rd and then turns into a huge waterfall. Comparable to chapman falls if not bigger. If you park opposite the small waterfall on the side rd you can hop the fence and follow the path. You will see the waterfall that goes from the reservoir then under the rd. It is a beautiful waterfall. Contact me directly if you want better directions.

    Nice views. Another good place to visit and view is Dennis Hill State Park and Haystack Mountain State Park in Norfolk,Ct. Dennis Hill has some spectacular views and you can drive all the way up to the top where there is a old stone house that you can rent for events. Haystack Mountain has a trail that leads up to the tower there where you have to climb some stairs inside it but well worth it for the 360 degree views it has.

    Laura’s Tower is named after Laura Ingersoll, the daughter of Charles Ingersoll, who was a prominent figure in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, during the 19th century. The tower and the trail were named in her honor, reflecting the local history and the contributions of the Ingersoll family to the area.

    • @MikeGetsLost
      @MikeGetsLost 22 дня назад

      I’m not entirely sure it has a specific name, the single fall I climb down to is kinsman falls, and there’s one I didn’t hike too above it that requires a Brook crossing. But all you do is follow the trail up the mountain above the basin and the whole way up you can hike along side these falls until you get to the sign for kinsman

    Which trail is easier to do? The trail on the left or to the right?

    • @MikeGetsLost
      @MikeGetsLost 2 месяца назад

      So it’s faster if you take an immediate right at the start. But that leads to the very steep stairs which are strenuous. If you go straight it’s a longer hike but much more gradual and you can either come back or take the stairs down.m for the full loop. If you go straight you’ll quickly come to a trail to your left which leads to the bald mountain peak, it’s short but requires scrambling up rocks and is totally optional

    Thanks for carrying me along to re-live this hike that I have made many times in my life (my parents ran the concession stands that were still active in the Upper and Lower park back in the late 1940's and early 1950's, so as such this has always been my favorite park to visit). Btw, as your gps said, it is pronounced "tree-man", although it was still "Enfield Glen State Park" in my parent's time, and we still have some leftover souvenirs from that era. From my old man perspective, for those folks not up to such a rigorous hike (or recovering from a heart attack as I had last month), definately drive between the two sections of the park and walk the shorter trails to & from the respective waterfalls. The best of the Upper park can be seen by hiking the trail through the grotto down to Lucifer Falls and turning back at the sharp left turn where you were at 5:45 . For those folks appreciative of antiquities, be sure to visit "The Old Mill" at the upper park entrance. They have interpretive signs showing how the grain was hoisted to the top floor and gravity feed down each level to arrive as flour at the bottom floor. For those folks who love a challenge: On one of my hikes following your route during the early '80s, I was as passed on the way up by a couple of young ladies that were jogging, and when I found them resting on the bridge at the transition to the return ridge trail, they told me they routinely averaged twenty minutes from Lower Park to Upper Park, ten minutes rest, then twenty minutes back down the ridge trail to the Lower park for a total "short workout" of about an hour!!!

  • @kdwilliamsart

Thanks again for another great video.

Also amazing for views was Stone Mountain on the Iron Trail near Norfolk (it's somewhat hard but possible to get to a high point for a good vista view as it's marked but hard to see where to go sometimes) as well as Haystack Mountain and Mount Tom also close by.

There was a vibrant volunteer group that has been discouraged at every turn; an absolute travesty. BTW, the little structure was not a "dog house", but a smokehouse.
