Canaan Mountain

42.0156° N — 73.3315° W · More spots in North Canaan

A high plateau in Canaan topped with a rare pitch pine-scrub oak barren ecosystem. The trails take you through this unusual landscape that feels more like Cape Cod than Connecticut. Views open up through the barrens, and the whole area has a remote, high-country feel.
