Join the Granby Land Trust for a sunrise hike on Saturday, June 3, as part of Connecticut Trails Day. See the sun rise from Scarlet Tanager Lookout on the GLT’s Schlicht Family Preserve. We will depart from the GLT Katan-Ensor Preserve parking lot at the end of Strong Road at 4:30 a.m. SHARP and proceed across the Katan-Ensor Preserve to the Schlicht Family Preserve, where there is a wonderful view to the east.
After watching the sun rise, we will take a short walk by the Messenger Family Homestead, which dates to the 1750s, and then on to the pristine Mountain Brook Falls located on the GLT’s Garmany Preserve. Bring a headlamp so you can navigate in the dark.
The total hike will be about two miles long and includes a somewhat steep climb to the lookout. No dogs, please. RSVP to Rick Orluk at rickorluk@gmail.com so we can communicate if weather causes us to postpone. The Katan-Ensor Preserve trailhead and parking lot is located at the very end of Strong Road in West Granby.
