Hanging Hills
The Hanging Hills are a 1,000 foot high broken escarpment of traprock where Metacomet Ridge bends eastward across the Central Valley, just north of Meriden, Connecticut. Scour by moving glacial ice has plucked away the basalt from the steep southern end of the crest of the broken ridge, creating the overhanging cliffs.
