The route begins from Hart’s Pass trailhead, heading north on the PCT. The first few miles are very cruisy with little elevation gain and amazing views. Roughly 4.5 miles in you’ll hit Buffalo Pass, followed by Windy Pass a mile later. Next it’s Foggy Pass and then Jim Pass, now 7-ish miles from the trailhead. 

Higby Mountain towers over I-91 and I-691, from the highway it is very striking with giant cliffs on its west side. This route starts on the east side but it is also quite steep, one of the steepest in Central CT. The initial climb from Tynan Park to Higby's main summit is quite gradual but once you drop down between the peaks the trail gets much steeper. Soon you will get to "Higby Middle Peak" as labeled on CalTopo. The third peak is "Higby South Peak" which is more of a bump on the ridge but makes for a fun climb.
