Okay, here's another. This time we're putting Northwestern Connecticut on
the map AND here's another for the Appalachian Trail!
Lion's Head Letterbox
Here is a place to go to get away from it all. However, note that it is a
popular spot to hike since it is rather short and offers views just about
360 degrees. It is especially nice during peak leaf-peeping season which of
course, is when I went.
Finding out how to get there will require some research on your part. It is
simple though. Find a spot called Lion's Head on the Appalachian Trail in
Northwestern CT. It is not difficult to find.
When you find the road that leads to the trailhead to Lion's Head, park
just downhill before the house at the top of the hill. Bring your lunch,
your dog, and your camera past the house and down the dirt road. Look for
the AT blazes. Follow them up for what seems to be about a half mile and
you'll come to a clearing where a blue blazed trail continues just ahead
and a white blaze runs to the right. Take the trail that is right. Climb.
At the top of the hill (yay you made it) you will find a signed tree at
1738 feet.
