Fall Hike and Breakfast at Julien's Farm Store Eastern Barndoor Hill rises 650 feet high in the McLean Game Refuge in Northern Connecticut and is easily reached via a short hiking trail. The trail isn't too strenuous, but steep sections begin near the base of the mountain. This activity is appropriate for beginners and intermediate hikers. It's a great opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy nature! After our hike, join us for breakfast at Julien's Farm Store, located just down the street from the trailhead. It's a very popular spot, so be prepared to wait in line for your delicious French pastries prepared by Connecticut's 2025 Pastry Chef of the Year, Julien Tessier. https://www.juliensfarmstore.com/ Event organizer: Kvarnstrom, Jay Location: 150 Barndoor Hills Rd, Granby, CT 06035 Date & Time: Sat Oct 03 2026 08:15:00 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) Estimated Duration: 2 hours
