Castle Craig, located on East Peak in the Hanging Hills, is constructed of trap rock and stands 32 feet (10 m) in height, with a base circumference of 58 feet (18 m). A metal interior stairway is used to ascend to the observation deck at the top. It stands 976 feet (297 m) above sea level and provides an expansive view of the greater Meriden, Connecticut area.
On our way back home, Kevin and I drove through Meriden. We have never been all the way up at the Castle Craig Tower. The road is accessible by car from mid-May until the end of September, depending on the weather. After many speed bumps, we made it up to the tower.
On top of the Castle Craig tower, I needed a moment to gather my senses together. Once I adjusted to the height, I photographed the surrounding area of Greater Meriden. I can only imagine how beautiful this place looks with all the different colored leaves in Autumn.
