Cabin Trail is a short, easy hike in Mianus Glen Park in Connecticut, about a quarter mile long and roughly 11 feet of elevation gain one way. The route is a loop, and the climb is flat, with the trail rising from about 154 feet to about 191 feet before returning to the starting point. Bikes are allowed, so the trail works for a walk or a ride. The weather station at Stamford, about 3 miles away, records typical averages that make late spring and early fall the most comfortable times to go. May highs average around 72°F and September highs around 76°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. Climbers will find Old Mill Lane Boulder Field and Mianus Park about 0.3 miles away, and Slabs and Cave about 0.7 miles off. For more hiking, the Green Loop is about a mile away.
