Heublin Tower from Penwood SP, Simsbury CT

I know this is an early start time. Its a holiday weekend and parking will be at a premium at Penwood.

There is another way up to the Heublin Tower. We will park at Penwood park in Simsbury. The parking there has been redone and very nice. We will cross the busy route 185 and head up the red blue trail to summit the tower. This is a 6.5 mile hike with the first 3 miles being uphill. It will be a moderate hike. We hike as a group so please keep that in mind when you respond. Please read the description and assess your ability to complete this hike in the 4 hour window posted. I do not leave folks behind but you must show up with hiking skills and proper equipment.

Please bring a pack with water, snacks, sun screen, basic medical stuff, poles if you like.
We will stop at the summit, Heublin Tower, and enjoy the views and have some snacks.

Items you must consider for every event:

• If you have an event after a hike, please do not sign up for the hike.
• End times are only an estimate.
• The group will not adjust speed or trail route to accommodate your schedule.
• If you cannot attend an event, please cancel 48 hours before. Late cancellations are rude and take away the option for others to join the event.
• Be a good hiking human

Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash and not allowed to run through the group. No kids.
