Litchfield County, Connecticut (Taconic Range, on the Massachusetts border) · USA
Mount Frissell
Mount Frissell is famous among highpointers for a quirk: Connecticut's official state highpoint, at 2,379 feet, sits on the mountain's south slope right where the Massachusetts–Connecticut border crosses it — but the mountain's actual summit, 2,454 feet, lies about a quarter mile north and is entirely in Massachusetts. So hikers 'bagging' the Connecticut highpoint never technically stand on top of Mount Frissell at all. The area sits in the Taconic Range near the Connecticut–Massachusetts–New York tri-state corner and is reached via a wooded trail from an AMC parking area on Mount Washington Road.
