Small, rugged summit on the Mattabesset section of the New England Trail offering rocky outcrops, mixed hardwood forest and brief valley views — excellent for fall foliage, intimate landscape and moody woodland shots. Trail is moderate; short hike from a small trailhead parking area in Middletown. Best at golden hour or after rain for saturated colors; winter yields stark compositions and snow-covered rocks. No permits; park considerately at designated spaces.
