Sargent Mountain, Gilmore Peak, Parkman Mountain, Bald Peak
Mount Desert, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The upper Grandgent Trail on the way up Sargent Mountain
Route: Around-Mountain Carriage Road, Maple Spring Trail, Garndgent Trail, Sargent South Ridge Trail, Maple Spring Trail, Parkman Mountain Trail, Bald Peak Trail, Around-Mountain Carriage Road
Carriage Road had awesome footing (stonedust) and good views. Excellent to jog.
Maple Spring Trail was hard to follow in a few places due to copious number of brook crossings. Very nice ridgewalk on Sargent Mountain. Adding the three subpeaks was great too, as they were filled with views and alpine zones.
