Aloha Trail is a short, easy hike in Marion K. Wilcox Park, a city-managed park in Connecticut about 1.3 miles from North Bloomfield. The trail is 0.55 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 39 feet and a total loss of 103 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in either direction. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hartford show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. The Chartreuse Trail lies just 0.4 miles away, and the Simsbury Riverwalk and Yellow Trail are each about 1.4 miles off. Climbers can find the Crown Jewel climbing area roughly 5.5 miles away.
