mm 4.0 - Rands View, considered by many the best viewpoint on the AT in CT. The northbound trail goes along the ridge of mountains (part of the Taconics) in the distance. The highest peakis Mt. Everett in MA. The second highest is Bear Mt., the highest peak (but not highest point) in CT. On a clear day Mt. Greylock in northern Massachusetts can be seen. Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu
