I really was looking forward to getting back into hiking this season. But it looks like if I'm going to go, I will have a 1 year old and 3 year old in tow by myself. I can wear the 1 year old in a pack, but the 3 year old will have to walk on her own. Any suggestions on some easier stuff she could handle? I will add that she's used to walking in the woods at White Memorial in Litchfield, CT. She's also done the Sessions Woods loop in Burlington (3 miles of hills). I took her around the West Hartford reservoir off of Rt. 44 before, but it got too windy on the treeless side and I wouldn't have her do that again.

Ideas for something new in the northwest corner of CT or nearby? Thanks in advance.
