The following is a list of the more notable summits and sub–ranges that make up the crest of the Metacomet Ridge, a fault-block landform located in Connecticut and Massachusetts, known for its microclimate ecosystems, rare plant communities, scenic vistas, proximity to major urban centers, and recreational opportunities.[1]
