Ragged Mountain, Summit of Metacomet Ridge in Connecticut, United States
The mountain rises 232 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs, vertical rock faces, and multiple interconnected trails through varied geological formations.
The basalt formations at Ragged Mountain originated during the Triassic Period through extensive volcanic activity that shaped the entire Connecticut River Valley landscape.
Since the 1930s, Ragged Mountain established itself as Connecticut's primary destination for rock climbing, attracting generations of experienced mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The main loop trail extends 5.5 miles with multiple access points, offering options for different skill levels and connecting to the larger 51-mile Metacomet Trail system.
The mountain contains several water bodies including Shuttle Meadow Reservoir, Wassel Reservoir, and Hart's Ponds, creating distinct microclimates that support rare plant communities.
