Planted more than 80 years ago by Virginia and Remy Morosani, the daffodils at Laurel Ridge remain one of Connecticut’s most stunning spring destinations.

Take a trip to Litchfield and wander the fields, where thousands of blooms burst into color each season.

📍Beseck Mountain - Meriden, Connecticut

The Mattabesett Trail stretches 60 miles from Middletown to Berlin, with many beautiful hikes in between. Just across the road from one of the most popular sections, Mount Higby, is an underrated hike that’s well worth exploring.

I’ve hiked Beseck Mountain in all seasons and in all weather. The trail follows the traprock ridge, offering amazing panoramic views. On a clear day, you can see well beyond the Hanging Hills to the west, Sleeping Giant to the southwest and Rattlesnake Mountain to the Northwest.

Look for the traprock chair at the peak!
