Some pictures from the Opening Celebration yesterday morning for the Mount Warner Reservation. The Trustees of Reservations now holds stewardship over the property and has recently put in a new trail system.
There was quite a turnout for the opening, and both John Scibak and Stan Rosenberg were there, as well as the trustees (a shout-out to Josh who coordinated it all) and volunteers who have helped put the reservation together and get it ready for opening day.
After the speakers, everyone went on a hike, and at the top (The Overlook, owned by the Carrs as part of their apple orchard), there was sweet cider and apples and a representation by Carr's Ciderhouse, with samples of their hard ciders, apple vinegar, and super-delicious apple syrup. I was very happy to be able to bring home a bottle of apple syrup and expect that I will be purchasing many more bottles in the future.
It was a great opening -- kudos to all those who helped put it together!
If you like to hike, if you enjoy nature, if you want to mountain bike or do some trail walking with your dog or cross country ski, the new trails on Mount Warner are perfect for it all! And there's now a new parking lot with a bike rack available, so you don't have to pull off onto the side of the road to enjoy it.

Excellent shots and coverage of an exciting event! Just one small correction: There's currently only one official trail on the reservation, the Salamander Loop, marked with bright yellow blazes. All unmarked trails and roads are off limits, at least officially.
