Rose Hill
About
Rose Hill is a summit in southeastern Connecticut, about 2.5 miles from Mashantucket. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. A nearby weather station in Norwich typically averages highs around 70°F in May and 76°F in September. That station sits a few hundred feet below the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. Several trails start close by. The Tri Town Orange Trail is under a mile away, and the Tri Town Yellow and Poquetanuck White trails are each just over a mile. Climbers can head to Stoddard Hill State Park, about 2.5 miles off.
