Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

Connecticut is probably not the first place you think of when you hear “mountains.” True, we don’t have the glorious peaks of the west. Bear Mountain, our highest point, is not quite 2,400 feet high, ranking 39th amongst all state high points. But we do have some beautiful elevations here within the Taconic Range. One mountain town in Connecticut that’s filled with history and incredible views is Avon, a suburb of Hartford.
