52 in the year of 52 --- #hike18 --- Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve

A fabulous magical hike; well marked, maintained and entertaining trails! 

Congrats to Westchester Wilderness Walk organization, their woody sense of humor was appreciated!

We could have spent all day here and we will definitely do these trails again.

For a well deserved yummy lunch visit Lakeside Diner in Stamford!!! But get there before they stop serving @ 2pm.
