Even if you only have time to drive thru the park it is worth it. Hiking is better. Driving and stopping at the vistas is a pretty decent option. Gorgeous views on all direction. Note that at times there might be an entry fee of $20 per out-of-state vehicle near the high point parking lot, but there wasn’t on the day that I went. Free entry. Maybe because it was later in the day. 5 minutes or less to the top of the tower if you go there. And great views all around.
Great day for a walk good weather on the mountain. Snack Shack in Building closed due to lack of staff. Hey it's still tourist season.
Definitely the best mountain views in the state as it has the highest peaks of Southern New England. There are a lot of trails in the reservation, but I found some parts to be so lightly traveled that they were getting a bit overgrown and narrow. Most of the trails aren't actually that difficult compared to some other areas, but found it to be very rooty. Saw a porcupine and quail. Summit and the building were nice, but fairly crowded since many people drove to the top. Barely saw anyone on the trails.
Gorgeous views at the summit! If you are up for a challenging hike or just want to travel to the mountain top, this is the place to be.
An amazing hike spot, did it in early Feb and was hard and challenging… however the view at the top and the outlook, the way icicles and frozen water drops made the trees look mesmerizing, the snow filled trees at the top, and coming back down; totally worth it!
Had a lot of fun! 🤩
