	Mt. Frissell - Mt. Washington, MA. - BerkshireHiking.Com
		Of the hikers that venture off to Frissell many are the "high point" enthusiasts who are trying to visit all the highest spots in all 50 states.
		Frissell's peak doesn't offer spectacluar 360 degree views (although Ted did point out that the views weren't as limited as I may have led on since trees have been cleared for the views), there are some nice overviews along the way to Frissell via Round Mountain and from certain vantage points along Frissell's mountainside.
		It's all part of a region known as the Taconic Plateau and the forests surrounding Frissell are part of Mt. Washington Reservation, Mt. Riga Reservation, and the South Taconic Trail.

	Berkshire Eagle Online - Mount Washington
		The nearby Mount Everett State Reservation has a variety of hiking trails within its 1,110 acres and picnicking at Guilder Pond (the state's highest freshwater pond).
		Mount Washington originally included the community of Boston Corners at the western foot of the mountains, an isolated gathering place for rogues, ruffians and fugitives, which was annexed to New York state in 1857 and is now a hamlet within the town of Ancram in Columbia County.
		According to an 1878 history of Columbia County, the mountain barrier separating Boston Corners from the rest of Mount Washington made it "a sort of 'city of refuge' for criminals and outlaws of all classes, who fled to it to escape from the reach of the officers of the law.

	Boston.com / Travel / New England / Connecticut / You might call it Mount Puzzling
		It's already clear that while Mount Frissell is only fifth among state high points in New England, this won't be a stroll along gradual inclines and soft dirt paths.
		Frissell, in fact, requires the third greatest vertical climb of New England high points -- 450 feet -- to reach its 2,380-foot peak.
		Norby hiked Frissell two or three winters ago, and says that now "it's interesting to see it with all the mountain laurel." He tries to work such hikes in when he is traveling, and his kids have one fewer high point to their credit than their respective ages: Erica has nine, Ryan eight.

	americasroof news - hiking and climbing the highest mountains and hills in the world and U.S.
		Some three-quarters of a mile beyond Round Mountain on the south slope of Mount Frissell, the trail climbs to the highest point in Connecticut, a humble 2,380 feet (the mountain's actual summit, at 2,453 feet, is in Massachusetts).
		The visitors center, which is closed for the fall and winter, is eight miles south, and the Mount Frissell Trail begins three miles farther on the same road, renamed East Street.
		The Mount Frissell trailhead is marked by a dirt lot on the west side of East Street about 50 feet north of the Connecticut-Massachusetts line.

	Mt Frissell, Connecticut Highpoint
		While Bear Mountain (elevation 2,316 feet) is the highest summit in Connecticut, the highest point in that state (elevation 2,380 feet) is on the south slope of Mount Frissell, along the Mount Frissell trail, a little to the west of the summit (elevation 2,653 feet).
		This is the route that I used to do Mount Frissell and Brace Mountain in the spring of 2003.
		The Alander Mountain Trail, the Mount Frissell Trail and the Jeep Road all start on the Mt. Washington Road, a portion of which is called the East Street.

		The South Taconics are wild, a roughly rectangular highland area of isolated 1,800- to 2,600-foot peaks straddling the state lines of Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut.

		Mount Washington State Forest and Mount Everett Reservation encompass much of the Massachusetts Taconics.

	Mt. Frissell, Connecticut
		Frissell - South Slope and Boundary Peak, Nevada are the only states with highpoints on the slopes of mountains in that summit in other states.
		Although Frissell is well below the 4,000 alpine level in these parts, it was surprisingly windy and the trees on top were actually low rising oaks giving it a near alpine feel.
		To the north was the lookout tower on Mount Everett.

	Mount Frissell-South Slope
		This place is commonly referred to as the "South Slope of Mount Frissell", but could also be called the south ridge, even if not a very pronounced one.
		The highest summit (local maximum) in Connecticut is nearby Bear Mountain, about a mile away to the southeast and 56 feet lower than the South Slope of Mount Frissell.
		Reaching the South Slope of Mount Frissell is an easy hike from Mount Riga road to the east, or a bit longer and steeper trip from New York state on the east over Brace Mountain.

	Highpoint - Connecticut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		This leads over Round Mountain, to the top of Mount Frissell, and down the south slope of Mount Frissell (where the CT highpoint is).
		Round Mountain is about 100 feet lower than Mount Frissel, but it gives better views of the surrounding mountains because of its openness (it also makes it windier).
		From Round Mountain, the view of Mount Frissell would make it appear more difficult than it is. Still, it probably is not recommended for small children.

		After parking, I set off at a rapid pace and quickly reached the summit, only to be told (luckily) by another hiker that the mountain I had just climbed was not Mt. Frissell at all, but Bear Mountain.
		The Mt. Frissell trail is found by turning right up the dirt road out of the AMC parking lot, back the way you came by my directions, past the stone pillar marking the MA/CT border on your right.
		Bear Mountain is clearly visible behind you, and Mt. Frissell rises ahead of you across a small col or valley.

		The area has a fraction of the visitors to Mount Greylock, the region's most popular hiking destination, and has a biodiversity so rich it was named one of the world's "last great places" by the Nature Conservancy in 1996.
		Potts had come to Mount Washington for her annual dose of fall foliage was simple.
		Though heavy rains caused by the remnants of the hurricanes that battered Florida have led some to predict a less-then-spectacular display this year, Lauren Stevens, locally known as the "leaf chief" who writes weekly foliage reports for the Berkshire Visitor's Bureau, doesn't expect that to be the case.

	SummitPost - Mount Frissell (Southwest Shoulder) -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
		Frissell’s southwest shoulder is the highest point in Connecticut at 2,380 feet above sea level.
		The easiest route to the summit, generally done from the AMC Parking next to the Massachusetts-Connecticut state line on Mt. Washington Road, is a very enjoyable hike with good views to be had on Round Mt., as well as the steeper sections of Mt. Frissell, including the state highpoint itself.
		It is the highest mountain SUMMIT in Connecticut, but Mt. Frissell's SW shoulder is higher.

		Note that the latter two roads are very narrow in that two cars barely have room to pass by each other (they probably can't at certain points).
		Note that on Mount Riga Road you will encounter a sign that says "No Trespassing" but highpointers have permission to travel on it (as I understand it).
		This is due to the fact that (a) the highpoint is on a slope (the south slope) of Mount Frissell whose summit is located in Massachusetts and (b) on the Mount Frissell trail you will encounter at least two other rock cairns before arriving at the real Connecticut highpoint.

		I selected the Mount Frissell trail which is about 2.5 miles (roundtrip) and has 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
		After parking, hike about 500 feet further up Mount Washington Road until you come to a small trail on the left marked with red blazes.
		Note: After climbing up a long steep hillside and you reach a flat summit area, you are actually on the summit of Round Mountain...about 1/2 way to your destination.

		From the bucolic Britton Hill in northwest Florida (345 ft., the lowest highpoint) to the imposing Mount McKinley in Alaska (20,306 ft., the highest point in the US as well as North America), highpointing is a journey most take over a course of years.
