Norumbega Mountain
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Goat Trail on the way up Norumbega Mountain
Route: Goat Trail
Goat Trail was neat to see following the 2012 step work. Previously nasty ledge ascents now have rock steps, making it a more reasonable ascent/descent. While there isn't much to see from the summit cairn, there are excellent cliff views a short bushwhack east, and decent western views a hundred yards south on trail.
