East Peak, Mountain summit in Connecticut, United States.
East Peak rises to 976 feet with steep basalt cliffs, forming part of the Hanging Hills range in New Haven County, Connecticut.
The mountain's geological formation dates back 200 million years when volcanic activity created the distinct basalt traprock composition of the peak.
The 51-mile Metacomet Trail passes through East Peak, connecting numerous hiking paths that demonstrate the natural heritage of Connecticut's landscape.
Visitors can reach the summit through a seasonal auto road that leads to a parking area near Castle Craig observation tower.
The mountain contains specific climbing zones that require permits from Meriden's parks department, obtained through the Ragged Mountain Foundation.
