This kid-friendly fall foliage hike offers a broad variety of terrain including marsh boardwalks, a bird watching ridge, a few hills, and is about 3 miles long. Take in all the fall colors SM&NC’s trails have to offer. An easy turn-back is available midway should your little ones get tired and prefer a shorter distance. Participants should bring lunch for a rest stop in the middle of the hike. “The hike originated in 1993 when our daughter Amanda was 4-yeas-old. We wanted to find other families with kids to hike with,” said hike leader Jay Vivian. “Amanda like it a lot, and we’ve done it ever since. Fortunately, the foliage peaks this year on a weekend she’s home from college, so the hike goes on!” After the hike, stay for Harvest Spooktacular, Stamford Museum & Nature Center’s annual fall family festival. Festival day admission: Members: $5; Non-Members: $10.Children under 3 years of age are free.
