The Appalachian Mountains and Connecticut:
The highest points of the Appalachian Mountains in Connecticut can be found in the northwest corner of Connecticut also known as Litchfield county. This part of the Application Mountains. The Metacomet Ridge or Metacomet Ridge Mountains are a narrow and steep fault-block mountain range (a fault block mountain range are mountains that are formed from two divergent boundaries) that are hundreds of feet thick, but the Appalachain Mountains as a whole are considered to be folded mountains. The Metacomet Ridge extends from New Haven and Branford, Connecticut (examples are East Rock, West Rock and Sleeping Giant), located on Long Island Sound, through the Connecticut River Valley, to 2 miles short of the Vermont and New Hampshire borders, a distance of 100 miles (160 km). This portion of the Appalachian Mountains includes Sugarloaf Mountain.
