If you don't have the app, I highly recommend it. But even without the app, you can pick a post in NW CT, and set parameters of distance, difficulty, dog friendliness, out & back/loop vs point to point, and it'll give you maps of all the trails that fit your preference
By "problems it's facing", do you mean housing shortage/lack of affordability, or drug problem? Or other?
I am just curious. Fortunately, I should be able to absorb the hit of Burlington's cost of living compared to Marquette's with the job, but just wanted to pick your brain further.
Thanks so much for your help! The guidebook sounds great!
I am building up her hiking stamina now in preparation. I can't really hike her more than two days in a row with work, but she has tolerated 13 miles in a day, as well as consecutive days of 6+ miles without issue. I will try to plan to hike back to back days on any golden weekends I have between now and the trip to toughen them up, and bring some paw balm with me!
