Dale Stenseth's Connecticut High Point Page
Highpoint 18. Connecticut, Mt. Frissell, 2380 ft, 8/28/03
|
The summit of Mt. Frissell is actually in Massachusetts. The Connecticut high point is on the northern border of Connecticut, on the south slope of Mt. Frissell, not too far from its summit. I used Wingers' book for guidance. There are no rest rooms at the trail head or the summits. The access road is the Mount Washington Road. Note that the road continues into Massachusetts, and is in better condition in Massachusetts. This is important if you are traveling north from this trailhead to the Massachusetts high point, or are coming from the north. |
