This 3.6-mile round trip trail is rated as moderate to difficult, with some steep inclines and rocky terrain. The trail is well-marked and maintained, making it a reliable choice for seasoned hikers. The trail's main attraction is the panoramic view from the summit of Peak Mountain. From this vantage point, hikers can see the Farmington River Valley and the Hartford skyline.
