Norumbega Mountain
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The upper Goat Trail on the way up Norumbega Mountain
Route: Goat Trail
Steeps on this trail were slippery and a little dangerous. A significant rebuilding project is in process - very awesome to see all of the work being done, as well as tools. Looks like it'll be a nice long stairway (instead of dangerous wet mossy sideslope ledges).
Some directional views above the steeps, but nothing like the previous peaks on this day.
