Bike Walk Connecticut is changing the culture of transportation through advocacy and education to make bicycling and walking safe, feasible and attractive for a healthier, cleaner Connecticut.

BYO water and snacks for a short sit-down break at half-time, and enjoy the view!

Fellow hashers, known as the “pack,” follow the hare’s trail, which traditio …

We help those in the community who have limited opportunities, including the handicapped and their families, to learn of its natural resources through outdoor recreation.

THERE IS NOTHING more natural than hiking through nature barefoot. The soles of your feet and toes are wonderful sensory organs and the myriad of feelings from earth, grass, moss, pine-needles, and mud are wonderful. Many could not see hiking any other way. HIKING BAREFOOT causes virtually no trail erosion since a bare foot makes much less of an imprint than a booted foot. Bare feet are therefore the environmentally sound choice for hiking. THE BAREFOOT HIKERS are groups of people who enjoy hiki …

Our members shouldn't feel that they should attend any or all all of them. It's about CHOICE. Look at what we offer and do what suits you. Yes, each assistant organizer would love for you to attend the event they post. But YOU should attend the ones that are most convenient fo …
