Mt. Zircon
Rumford, ME, Milton, ME, Peru, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Looking up the Mt. Zircon Trail
Route: Mt. Zircon
The gated access road was fairly bland. Generally decent footing, except for some loose stuff were the ATVs join in.
The trail proper was mostly dry, but the ledges above the col would be pretty slippery if wet.
Multiple good viewpoints from the ledgy summit (old fire tower knocked over) and many blueberries.

Directions to trailhead: From US 2 in Rumford, take South Rumford Road southwest. The gated road (look for a Tree Farm sign) to the Mt. Zircon Trail will be on the left, just after a small brook, but before Zircon Brook.
