Hiking by Town Bear Mountain – Salisbury, CT at 2,380 Feet, Bear Mountain Is the Tallest Peak in Connecticut
Hiking by Town Bear Mountain – Salisbury, CT At 2,380 feet, Bear Mountain is the tallest peak in Connecticut. This 5.5-mile hike is long and difficult but very rewarding. You should be in fairly good shape to attempt Bear Mountain. Just remember, the turtle wins the race. Go slow and stop often and this summit is surmountable. From the White Hart Inn, travel north on Rt. 41 for 3.1 miles. The dirt parking lot is on your left and marked as “Under Mountain Trail.” Trail maps are available at trail entrance. Allow 4-5 hours for this hike. Mount Riga - Salisbury, CT Turn West at the fountain next to the Salisbury Town Hall and follow the signs to Mount Riga. Beyond the gate the dirt road is closed to cars during the winter, but for walking or X-Country skiing it is open the year round. After 2 1/2 miles the road levels off and you pass beautiful waterfalls on your right and shortly after that on your left remnants of a 19th century blast furnace. Soon after that you come to the South or Forge Pond, (which is privately owned). Here Mount Washington Road begins and runs to the Massachusetts State Line (3 miles).There are no views, but side trails branch off to Bald Peak, Brace Mountain and Bear Mountain. These are marked by "HIKING TRAIL" signs. From Bald Peak (8), only about 1/4 mile, there are good views of Salisbury. The trail to Brace Mountain (24) is about 2 miles and there are spectacular views into New York and the Harlem Valley.
