About this event

This approx 5 mile out and back hike to Peak Mountain and Chimney Rock overlooks Newgate Prison and the western hills. The foliage should be spectacular.  The hike is moderate to slightly difficult.  The trail begins with a very steep ascent off the parking area to the top of the Metacomet Ridge.  We will follow the trail along the ridge, encountering moderate ups and downs and some rocky scrambles, to Peak Mtn and Chimney Rock and back. 


Apres at the home of Mike and Karen Korby.  Address provided at hike. They will provide hamburgers and cheeseburgers.  Please bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert to share. BYOBeverages.
