Salisbury (Connecticut)

Be sure to climb up Mt. Riga, the highest point in the state of Connecticut. On a clear day you can easily see into Massachusetts, New York State, and to other towns in Connecticut. If you are lucky enough to know someone with a pass to the pond up the mountain, you can expect crystal clear water, peacefulness, and fresh picked blueberries.
