Kermit and I were back at Sleeping Giant the next day, and we went up the blue square trail, which is considered the most difficult trail in the park. The steep and rocky path reminded me of a typical trail in the white mountains. The views along this hike really surprised me, I did not realize how beautiful Connecticut is, apparently there is a fair amount of open space and conservation land in the state.
This hike was a good test for Kermit before heading to the White Mountain National Forest.

| Kermit never experienced a slope like this in Illinois! |

| There are some nice vistas on the way up. |
