I wrapped up the year with a visit to the West Suffield Quarry, aka Manitook Mountain.  I do not visit here often, as this is only the second or third time in the past twenty-years.  Honestly, I can't get too close to the edge, it is too steep a drop and it slopes downward.  It is an awesome view though.

Used snowshoes until I exited the ridge north of the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail on Quarry Road.  I jumped onto the bike-path before jutting through a field to my landing spot.  3.5-miles for the entirety.
View northeast, Mt Tom & Holyoke Range in distance
  View east, Soapstone slightly visible between the "notch"
Again, east
