From
In the 17th century, West Rock served as the hideout for Edward Whalley and his son-in-law, Gen. William Goffe, two of the three regicide judges whom New Haven honors by streets bearing their surnames. They had fled England, anticipating prosecution under King Charles II in the execution of his father Charles I, to New Haven; the rock shelter hideout used by the two is now called Judges Cave

Many people have walked the trail as you can see. The Blue trail runs from one side, crosses the road, and it continues on the other side of the mountain.

Schaghticoke Mountain,Appalachain trail Connecticut
After relaxing in the open field section you can take on more challenging terrain by following the trail into the woods. Here the trail quickly rises and will get your blood pumping for about 15 minutes. The forest cover is thick with tall trees, and the terrain is a bit rocky at times. The trail soon flattens out along the ridge top and takes you through some quiet woodlands that most likely were pastures years and years ago. Stone fences and other tidbits of a time long gone remain and remind us that the terrain was quite different years ago. Continuing along the trail eventually presents two decent overviews looking down at Kent center. Unfortunately trees have matured to the point where they actually wind up blocking some potentially great views. Too bad years ago they didn't think of this and clear out the saplings and place some bushes in their place. These spots possibly would present the best view in all of Connecticut of a classic New England town. However, they're still nice spots to check out and the second of the two overviews is by far the best. There's a nice northeastern view of the valley below, and you can see parts of the town as it stretches along Route 7. You might be sharing this view with some turkey vultures who have the best view of all since they hang out on the branches of the trees that are blocking your view of Kent Center! If you're a hearty soul or looking for more hiking, you can continue on the Appalachian Trail. This will eventually lead you across a road and over to Caleb's Peak and St. John's Cliff. Caleb's Peak offers some really nice views east, and nearby St. John's Cliffs is a popular rock climbing spot. Going all the way over to these hikes puts the difficulty meter on strenuous for the typical day hiker, so bring plenty of water and energy food. Remember that you've got to turn around and go back. If you're hiking with someone else or a group, bring two vehicles and park one at Schaghticoke Mountain and the other at St. John's Cliffs parking lot
