Walk + October = Month Of Wonders

October light is stunning in New England.

Walktober is the expanded "Walking Weekend" concept that began on the Columbus Day holiday a decade ago.

The Last Green Valley event offers a month-long menu of some 117 events for walkers of every caliber to explore history, natural resources, farms, archaeology and the arts.

For a complete listing of Walktober offerings see www.tlgv.org. Brochures can be found in some area town halls or at tourism welcome centers, such as Olde Mistick Village.
