Highlights
"Hit 6 peaks in one really long day to complete the CT Tower Challenge. Some things to note: 1. The Sleeping Giant tower is not at the summit of Mt Carmel. 2. The short route up East Peak is very steep and should not be attempted unless you are in really good shape. 3. Cunningham Tower is nowhere near the top of Mohawk Mountain. Make sure you look it up first as there is really no trail to the tower as you will need to take the road. " — jonl • Dec 29, 2022
