Last week, we walked the mostly flat section of the AT from Jug End Road to the Housatonic River. I love this section for the variety of habitats and the boardwalks and bog bridges through the wetlands. We found spring growth progressing quickly with flowers and buds everywhere. This is always an exciting time with new flowers and changes every day.
