Connecticut's High Point - "Mount Frissell"

Connecticut's High Point is Mount Frissell's southwest shoulder at 2,380 feet. Yes, the high point is not at the top of Mount Frissell, which is on the Massachusetts state side but on the side of the mountain which is a little strange. It was the 6th May 2006. We drove to the small town of Salisbury and followed Mt Riga Rd to the AMC parking lot which was closed so we parked along the road. There were quite a few cars parked but the area was quiet and deserted. The hike to the high point was surprisingly steeper than we first anticipated, clambering high over the rocks and over some steep areas before arriving at the marker. It was about a 3-hour round trip to get back to the car.
