Taine Mountain
About
Taine Mountain is a summit in Connecticut, about 4 miles from Collinsville. It sits within easy reach of several named trails, which makes it a straightforward objective to fold into a day of hiking in the area. The most comfortable time to visit is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Burlington run highs around 70°F in May and 75°F in September. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Three trails lie within a few hundred yards: the Fiske H. Ventres Bird Trail, the Tunxis Blue-Red North Trail and the Taine Mountain Road Blue Trail. Climbers can head about a mile to the Burlington Fish Hatchery Boulders.
