When I am stressed I always find
that hiking on trials by myself is the perfect stress reliever, and the other
day East Rock was looking pretty nice as I was driving by the entrance. I was
raised by a family of hunters and because of that, the woods have always been
an escape for me, almost like a second home. Being on the trails surrounded by
nothing but trees puts me at ease and is the perfect place to escape from the
world around me. Once my feet hit the trails, I look around for that perfect
tree to go sit under and just listen to nature. Hearing the squirrels scampering
around and the roaring waterfall from the Lake Whitney Dam puts me in a state
of tranquility. Once I leave the park I feel relieved and relaxed, in some form
hiking is my therapy, and East Rock was my therapist for the day. http://www.cityofnewhaven.com/parks/parksinformation/eastrockpark.asp
