Description
Traverse the dramatic spine of the Hanging Hills on this challenging 6.3-mile hike across Castle Craig’s East and West Peaks. Climb to the iconic stone tower perched high above Meriden, then follow the rugged ridgeline west over traprock ledges, rocky scrambles, and forested singletrack.
Expect steady elevation gains, exposed viewpoints, and sweeping panoramas stretching across central Connecticut—and, on clear days, all the way to Long Island Sound.
This hike demands focus and endurance, but rewards every step with bold scenery, historic landmarks, and a true sense of accomplishment atop one of the state’s most striking landscapes.
