Hike to the Heublein Tower

This weekend we took a hike up to the Heublein Tower in Simsbury. The walk up to the tower only takes half an hour or so, but it's straight up the mountain! Then, once you get to the tower, you have to walk up 7 or 8 flights of stairs to get to the top. It was quite a workout.

We didn't get a picture of the actual tower, but you can check it out at the Friends of Heublein Tower website.

This was the view from the walk.


It's tough to tell from the picture but John is standing about 2 feet away from a cliff that just drops straight down. I get nervous just looking at this picture.


At the top of the tower, we could see Hartford on one side and Springfield, MA on the other.
