Description

This route is 6.6-mile loop trail near Gilead, Maine. Generally considered a moderately challenging route and is made from the Mud Brook Trail that takes you up the mountain and you return via Caribou Trail on the north side. This trail has beautiful views at the top of the summit and a very dense wilderness throughout. Please be prepared as portions of this trail are rocky. The typical method is to go anti-clockwise. Overall is a great trail running mountain and area.
