It doesn’t happen often enough but when the sun comes out during the winter, I’m compelled to have its rays upon me. The bare trees cooperate by letting more of the light land on me. Bennett Hill is just fifteen minutes from my house and a favorite hike because of its well-marked trails, a dose of steepness, and its winter landscape of gray and white and brown.
The winter hike offers deeper views into the surrounding forests, and sometimes long views across the way that are hidden by leaves in the verdant seasons.
