About this route

A forest ascent from Albany Mountain Trailhead reaches rocky summit openings and broad views across the surrounding hills.

From Albany Mountain Trailhead, the out-and-back climbs through forest toward Albany Mountain. The Forest Service describes an approach reaching a junction with the summit trail, followed by an open ledge finish. Rocky openings at the top frame panoramic views across the surrounding landscape, with especially broad outlooks to the south and east. The route returns to the same trailhead.

The recorded line measures 4.6 miles round trip with about 1404 feet of elevation gain. Those figures follow the recorded route, while the U.S. Forest Service and Maine Trail Finder describe the summit’s open ledges, panoramic outlooks, and seasonal blueberries and fall foliage.
