Solo Hiking the 60km Tunxis Trail - Connecticut Blue-Blazed Trail System

In this video I go over my solo hike and camping trip on the Tunxis Trail, a roughly 60km/40 mile trail found in the North West of Connecticut, USA. It is part of the Blue Trail System and represents 825 miles of some of the best hiking in Connecticut with the highlights being Satan's Kingdom, the ridge next to Barkhamsted Reservoir as well as the Indian Council Caves. I cover the trail as well as some new food and gear I used on the hike.

COVID definitely through a wrench in my travel plans and forced my family back home. After a couple of months of hunkering down, I am finally getting out and starting to stretch my legs again. The Tunxis Trail is part of the Blue-Blazed Hiking trail system, which I have seen for years I have been exploring different parts of CT.

Let me know if you found this video helpful and if I missed anything in the comments below.

The next video will be on the Mohawk Trail which I think is a better representation of the northwest corner of CT.
