The Rock Stars of Connecticut Trails | Hartford News
Description
In Connecticut, a crew of retired volunteers known as the Rock Stars are quietly transforming hiking trails with hand-built rock structures—steps, bridges, and walls—that last generations. Led by Wayne Fogg, who’s logged over a thousand hours since 2014, they haul local stones into the woods using winches and hand tools, all while preserving nature. Their work, endorsed by the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, creates durable, low-maintenance trails that enhance the Blue-Blazed Hiking Experience. Next time you hike, pause to appreciate the sweat, grit, and timeless craftsmanship behind every rock they’ve placed.
