"Well! The trip to Connecticut's state high point certainly requires some driving, to say the least. The road was accessible with low clearance, but it was very muddy and rutted, so I'm glad my rental was high clearance with 4WD (but I didn't actually engage it, so... *shrugs*). Mt. Riga Road and the approach from the south (so heading north to the CT/MA state line) appears to no longer be maintained, so I came from the north (heading south on East Road from MA to the CT/MA state line). The last several miles of the road are "closed except to local traffic", but as we ran into three other groups on the trail, I'd take that sign with a grain of salt. We parked at the "Parking for Trail Head to NW Camp", which is right on the state line between MA/CT. The trail is to the west, next to the parking area, and marked with bright red blazes. Because it's very early spring, there was a ton of snow-melt that turned the first part of the trail into a stream, so we got a bit wet. Still plenty of snow/ice on north-facing slopes and shaded areas of the trail. The trail has steep sections climbing up the granite and quartz-sided slopes of Round Mountain and Mount Frissell (definitely class 2 mini..." — psychikingjes • Apr 7, 2019

"It was a cold day, 10F when I started, with about 4 inches of powder on a layer of crunchy ice. The family was skiing at Mohawk Ski Area, so I climbed up the Mohawk ski trail to the Mohawk trail, then proceeded south to the Cunningham Tower and then to the peak and the radio tower. I was the only one out today (not skiing), even the animals were hiding today. Plenty of deer tracks in the woods, though. " — cv • Feb 19, 2019

"Got out for a hike ahead of the snow storm. Nice out and back along the Appalachian Trail to the state’s highest summit to kick off getting snowed-in for the weekend in Northern Connecticut. " — wacbravo • Jan 19, 2019
