  • West Peak (Or, “Radio Mountain”) by Frank Donovan - Y’S Men Storyteller Jan
    West Peak (Or, “Radio Mountain”) by Frank Donovan - Y’s Men Storyteller Jan. 21, 2014 At an elevation of 1,024 feet, the talus-strewn rock cliffs of Meriden’s West Peak rise abruptly 900 feet above Connecticut’s Quinnipiac River Valley. As part of the Hanging Hills, West Peak and its companion East Peak are valued for their spectacular, easily accessible views north to Mt. Tom, Massachusetts and south to Long Island, NY. West Peak is renowned well beyond Connecticut. I first learned of the Hanging Hills and West Peak 60 years ago while studying Geology at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. In 2012 our Y’s Men’s speaker, Wesleyan University’s Dr. Jelle Zeillinger de Boer, taught us that the Hanging Hills were formed over a time span of 20 million years during the Triassic and Jurassic periods, more than 200 million years ago. They are composed of basalt, an extrusive volcanic rock, also known as trap rock. Meriden’s basalt cliffs are the product of several massive lava beds hundreds of feet thick that welled up in geologic faults created by the rifting apart of ancient North America from Eurasia and Africa. Between eruptions erosion deposited deep layers of reddish-brown sediment in shallow seas between the lava flows. It’s a type of sandstone called arkose. The resulting “layer cake” of basalt and arkose eventually faulted and tilted upwards. You can readily observe these layers as you travel west on I-691 toward Cheshire. West Peak is also famous for its role in broadcasting, especially for the pioneering development of FM radio networks.

Rocky outcrops and mountain ranges often divided and defined our communities. High ridges also served as inspiration to a region’s people. The emerging greenway movement has reminded us of the importance of natural and cultural connections. Miles of linear trails are being established along rivers and canals. Abandoned railroads have made ideal linkages between cities and towns. Although originally conceived as a means to control population sprawl along the eastern seaboard, the Appalachian Trail extends some 2,050 miles along a mountain chain from Maine to Georgia. While the Appalachian Trail serves a good example of what a grand vision and dollars from the federal government can accomplish, there are many opportunities to preserve and develop smaller, regional ridgeline trails such Metacomet Trail. This paper will describe the trail’s unique features, the importance of its natural landscape to a region’s inhabitants and examine some of the tools used to preserve hiking trails.
