About This Trail
One of Connecticut’s most technical blue-blazed trails, this 7-mile route follows the diabase cliffs of West Rock Ridge past Judges Cave, where two English regicides hid in 1661. Dramatic cliff-edge views stretch over reservoirs and forests, with exposed ridge walking above New Haven.
