Thomas Mountain
About
Thomas Mountain is a summit in Tarrywile Park in Connecticut, about 2.3 miles from the town of Bethel. The most comfortable stretch for a visit is late spring through early fall. At the nearby Danbury airport weather station, typical average highs run about 69°F in May and about 74°F in September. That station sits nearly 500 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top tend to run a little cooler. The Ives Trail Greenway passes within about half a mile. The Still River offers canoeing about 1.9 miles away, and the Tree Tops and King Boulder climbing areas lie just under 3 miles off.
