This approx 5 mile out and back hike to Peak Mountain and Chimney Rock overlooks Newgate Prison and the western hills. The views are 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.
