Get ready for Thanksgiving by hiking up **Mt. Pisgah** and then over to **Mica Ledges.** The bald top of Mt. Pisgah is a real treat, with a great view to the north and west across the Connecticut Valley to the Metacomet Ridge. See photo!

Special features on the Mica Ledges trail system include marvelous views from high granite ledges to the east and especially to the west along the Mattabasset Blue Trail, great rock jumbles, several streams, vernal pools and a beautiful pond.

The hike is considered **moderate at 6 miles, 670 feet elevation and between 2-2.5 miles per hour**. Bring your [ten essentials,](https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/day-hiking-checklist.html) including lunch/snacks, 2L water and layers for the weather. Be sure you have sturdy shoes as the terrain is typical rocky, roots, and mud found in CT. Depending on weather condition, you may need microspikes.
