Penobscot Mountain
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Spring Trail
Route: Carriage roads, Spring Trail, Penobscot Mountain Trail, East Cliffs Trail, Deer Brook Trail, Jordan Pond Path
Managed to sneak this one in just before the rain arrived.
Jordan Cliffs Trail is closed for nesting season. Spring Trail from the upper Carriage Road was a lot of fun with steps, scrambles, cliffs, etc. Penobscot Mountain Trail was yet another nice ridge walk with nonstop views and wild flowers. East Cliffs Trail had a few nice viewpoints, but was also pretty heavily eroded/loose. Deer Brook Trail has been stabilized with steps and waterbars. Nice walk around the western side of Jordan Pond.
