Hiking East Rock Park in New Haven, CT
New Haven is a city of 130,000+ people, and in a city of that size it can be hard to feel connected to nature. And even if you’re not in the heart of the city, it can be hard to find the time to get out into nature.
That’s the whole mission behind the #GetOutAndGO campaign: to highlight the fact that nature is closer than we think, and to help people get outdoors across the country.
Today, we’re in awe of East Rock Park. Roughly 4 miles from downtown New Haven, this park is a dollop of rugged nature amid a highly cultivated city landscape. The result: incredible views, and an even more incredible sense of refreshment after hiking its trails.
East Rock Park reminds us to seek simple excursions in our daily lives, to do big things, and to surround ourselves with beauty as much as possible.
