At 2,380 feet, Mount Frissell marks the highest point in Connecticut, ranking #36 among U.S. state high points and becoming my 3rd overall.
Unlike many state high points, Mount Frissell is reached via a multi-state hike, with the trailhead located just across the border in Massachusetts. Add in rocky scrambles, border crossings, and rewarding views, and this turned out to be one of the more memorable early summits on my list.
