Cotton Hollow Preserve: Glastonbury, CT (6/10)


Back in Connecticut, Shannon took me to Cotton Hollow Preserve, a small conservation area near her house. The property is owned and maintained by the Glastonbury Parks and Recreation department. It boasts lot of nice trails most of which run parallel to Roaring Brook.

As we began our hike the skies became very overcast. It didn't rain on us but the threat was always there. But, even in the low light the view of the river was fantastic. We stopped several times to take photos of the river before continuing on.

Eventually we got to an area of the river where the water pooled up deep enough for swimming. One brave soul was waist deep in the cold water as we passed. We stopped for a while to admire the scenery before turning back for home. But, this is definitely a place that I'd like to hike again (preferably when its sunnier).
