Looking down the Larcom Mountain Trail Route: Larcom Mountain Trail Wanting to stretch my legs, I headed over to Larcom Mountain during lunch. Arriving at the trailhead, I could see I would be breaking trail after the previous day's snowfall. As I was ascending the back side of the mountain, I looked up to see a moose getting up from a nap. By the time I had my camera out, the moose had taken off. While I pursued it for a bit, the tracks dipped down the west side of the mountain - not enough time follow! Though it was blue sky when I started the hike, snow flurries had moved in by the time I was at the summit. Nonetheless, nearby mountains in the range could be seen, as well as the valley to the north. All in all, not a bad day for Larcom Mountain.

Just after the height of land and at the south edge of the field that contains the apple orchard, there is a small parking area on the left. The trail starts on the right, following the edge of the field, then entering the woods at the top. Back to Larcom Mountain Profile
