I've been noticing the Bloomfield to Tariffville Multi-Use Trail on the side of Route 189 in Tariffvile for a bit, and I am nearing the completion of 100 miles on the Metacomet (New England Trail) for my NET HIKE CHALLENGE 2023.
Putting this together, a trip to Marion Wilcox Park in Bloomfield to climb to the Metacomet (NET) down to Tariffville where I could then explore the Multi- Use Trail back to Wilcox Park seemed like a great idea, and would be the proverbial "two birds one stone" theory.
Pretty awesome run, despite the drizzle which began right about at the start of my adventure.
Completed 4.3-miles in 52:30 (4.9 avg) with 500' of climb.
From Wilcox to the start of the Multi-Use Trail was about 2.2-miles.
