2018-09-26_TIP Refresh - Fall Hike - Rattlesnake Mountain, Farmington

The two mile round-trip includes a strenuous climb with some rock scrambling at the top. The journey is definitely worth the trip though, with scenic views along the way up and an overlook at cliff top that offers magnificent vistas of Hartford on one side and the northwest hills and the Berkshires on the other.This event is free and open to the public.  In the event of rain, the hike will be rescheduled. We think 1.5 to 2 hours is about right to get there, relax a bit and get back at least to the parking lot.  MEET at UConn TIP - 400 Farmington TIP Lobby at 4:30- for carpooling to the trailhead. On the south side of Route 6, just east of the intersection of Pinnacle Road and Reservoir Road in Farmington. WHEN – Wed. Sept. 26,  4:30 at TIP Lobby - then head to Trailhead.   WHERE – RATTLESNAKE MOUNTAIN https://www.yelp.com/biz/rattlesnake-mountain-farmington [https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yelp.com%2Fbiz%2Frattlesnake-mountain-farmington&data=02%7C01%7Cpaige.rasid%40uconn.edu%7C086b6f1fdd254c06251308d5e831f10b%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C636670223552740451&sdata=KeKY3aC0ARf0dBLaptmPqy0rmtW34zlh83i%2BVYZYefc%3D&reserved=0]  The trailhead address is Rt. 6 Colt Hwy.,  aka Metacomet Parking, Colt Hwy, Farmington, CT 06032 WHO – TIP + 400 Farmington Ave Staff and Friends WHAT – a 1.5-2 hour (somewhat challenging, rocky) hike to the top of Rattlesnake mountain, where we will have great views south over Pinnacle Mountain and Plainville.
