I next went to a striking steep slope above the Asylum Reservoirs on Cedar. This is a beautiful outcropping on the Mattabessett Trail, and squinting through the vegetation I could almost make out a tiny bit of downtown. But not only was the view quite limited, I cannot find any indication that this outcropping has a name. Disappointed, I headed back down the hill.
Indian Hill is a gentle plateau, home to the Indian Hill Tree Farm (not to be confused with Indian Hill cemetery on Washington Street). Unfortunately, Indian Hill is low enough that the view of downtown is obstructed by an even lower hill in front of it.
Despairing and dispirited, I headed to the Institution on that hill. Connecticut Valley Hospital sits along a ridge whose highest point (slightly south of the buildings) is Tryon Hill (241'). It was late evening and hazy, so a clearer view will have to wait for another trip, but at last !!!! a Middletown hill with a with a view of Middletown.
