Tunxis Trail - Session Woods

It was a nice day for a walk so we drove up to Session Woods WMA and parked at the visitor's center, which unfortunately was closed. We followed the Beaver Pond trail (aka Tunxis trail) west from the parking lot. The beaver pond trail is a gravel road but after a bit the Tunxis trail turns off and heads into the woods. It remains mostly a woods walk until after you pass the Nature Center connector at which point you drop down, cross a road and then climb up a ridge which eventually becomes a bit of a rock scramble up to the viewpoint. We continued on to Greer road which was our turn around. Back at the 'view' we had a nice lunch on the open rocks. No views, but a nice place.

 Then we navigated our way back down through the ledges, always more fun on the way down.

It is a pretty cool area.

Back at the Nature Center trail we took it back east towards Rt 69. Just before hitting the road we turned north onto a series of paths/roads and camping areas that got us back to the visitors center. About 5.5 miles. A nice walk in the woods.
