Glastonbury’s Town Trails

Glastonbury’s “Other Trails”

UnknownMy friend at work is a 26-year-old young woman who spent most of her formative years in Glastonbury. She really, really loves the town. Even though she currently lives in East Hartford, she still refers to Glastonbury as home. (Which, let’s face it, is understandable.)

In fact, she lovingly refers to the town as “The G,” because kids from “The G” fancy themselves far tougher than they are. The bigger joke is that “The G” wants to be West Hartford (where I live in abject snobbery) so badly that it’s painful. Sure, the two towns have similar demographics, but West Hartford’s town center is so far and away above “The G’s” that it’s not even fair.

However, Glastonbury crushes West Hartford in one department: hiking. Between their Kongscut Land Trust (my page of their properties here) and the many cool little town tracts, there are tons of fun little hikes to enjoy.

And enjoy them we shall.
