Cliff Walk And The Mansions - Newport, RI
by whiskers on Jul 30, 2010
Newport, Rhode Island, United States
Hiking | 6.7 miles
This was a very nice scenic walk that turned into a tiring hike. The walk itself - on a cliff with a view of the ocean - was more interesting to me than the mansions, which we came to see. At some point, perhaps a mile after The Breakers, the paved path became a shore path and turned very rocky with sharp cliffs under your feet. Not many people were there, perhaps...

Midstate Trail

Pascoag, Rhode Island, United States
Hiking | 15.8 miles
The start of the Midstate Trail from the southern side.  After hiking in from the closest lot about 1.5 miles out, we started our trek from Rhode Island to New Hampshire through Massachusetts.  This is the first 16 miles, until the pavement got to us.  We have been using the guide, but were unaware of how much road there was really going to be.  After one of us ran into a lot...

Breakheart Pond

Lewis City, Rhode Island, United States
Hiking | 5.8 miles
This was a great hike, I loved all the little streams and changes in the types of forest. We met a few mountain bikers who were very polite and respectful of sharing the trail. I would imagine in the warmer months it is quiet a busy trail. We did it in under 3 hours because we had  started at 2pm, but if you start earlier there are many places to stop and...

On Tuesday July 7th 2009 Diane and I took a trip to the RI shore. We started out with a 4 mile hike at Ninegret National Wildlife Refuge. Ninigret is located at the former Charlestown Auxiliary Naval Air Station. After the hike we went to Jerusalem and Jim's Dock where we enjoyed a lobster roll. For my CT friends lobster rolls outside of CT are lobster salad rolls in other words it is cold lobster and in this case...
