A 1.25-mile trail climbs to the 165-foot Bavarian-style Heublein Tower, built in 1914 as a mountaintop retreat atop 1,000-foot Talcott Mountain. The tower offers 360-degree views of the Hartford skyline, Farmington River Valley, and distant hills, with fall foliage making it especially spectacular.
