Hike to the top of massive stone cliffs with spectacular views over surrounding towns; tour the beautifully appointed and unique tower, former home of the Heublein (distillery) family, and small museum.
a lovely, moderate hike that ends in a fantastic view of CT and surrounding states and a climb up the historic tower. Pack a picnic to eat at the top!
