Enjoy a spring hike on this popular segment. Hike 6.0 miles in a clockwise loop around the Holy Hill Shrine with fantastic views of the church from various viewpoints. The hike includes a side trip on a spur trail to the Erratic Hill viewpoint, which will include views of a huge erratic and the City of Hartford.

The hike is rated moderate due to several hills and includes a 0.5 mile walk along the lightly used Carmel Drive. A State Park sticker is NOT required.

We will meet at the Department of Natural Resource’s Shannon Road parking lot click here for directions.
