Mt. Battie, Mt. Megunticook
Camden, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Carriage Road Trail
Route: Carriage Road Trail, Mt. Battie Road, Tableland Trail, Nature Trail, Ridge Trail, Carriage Trail
Carriage Road Trail had some significant mud sections, possibly due to overnight rain. Nice views from Battie, tower and otherwise. Auto road didn't congest the summit as much as some other auto road peaks I've been to.
Took the Nature Trail by accident in the col due to missing sign/confused crowd of hikers. Turned around shortly after passing over a crag.
Didn't find any views atop Mt. Megunticook, however the Ocean Lookout .4 miles before it (big cliff views) was spectacular.
Carriage Trail was a little drier than the Carriage Road Trail, however the flats were still quite muddy.
