Low Aziscohos Mountain
Lincoln Plantation, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking down the Aziscohos Mountain Trail
Route: Aziscohos Mountain Trail
Trail was well packed and could have been booted with light traction today. With warmer temperatures forecasted tomorrow, snowshoes would be a good idea. I snowshoed roundtrip with no issue - others booted with traction with no issue.
Maybe a foot or so of snowpack down low - 2-5 feet up high. Frozen granular surface made for decent bushwhacking.
No sign of recent traffic on Tower Man Trail. Some locals are working to get it maintained again.
Didn't bother to bushwhack to true summit (Aziscohos Mountain), but the ledges around the old fire tower footings on Low Aziscohos had good views in all directions.
