Heublein Tower - Metacomet Trail
The white rectangular tower with its brown trim and pyramid shaped peak looms above a wall of weathered basalt.
A long and weaving trail with only one steep section - it culminates in a visit to the highly visible Heublein Tower.
 

Mount Tom - Metacomet / Monadnock Ridge
The ridge is orange brown and grey rock falling away as a cliff on the left. Bare trees cap the top and the distant landscape beyond shades into blue sky.
The tip of a long ridge at the southwest end of a massive arc of cliffs and slopes, marked with highly visible communication towers, long ago the home of a resort hotel.
 

Peak Mountain - Metacomet Trail
A distant view of two major buildings from the colonial era - to the right, a white building (Viets) and to the left, the brown and orange prison buildings.
A pleasant ridge trail overlooking colonial-era mine / prison Newgate Prison.
 

Penwood Park / Metacomet Trail
A wide trail between dark trees.
The Metacomet is one of several trails through Penwood Park.
 

Tariffville Gorge - Metacomet Trail
Rocks slightly scarred with white graffitti are shadowed in the foreground while a coldly blue river winds between grey trees far below.
A pleasant trail with good views of a river and a large pond.
