Spruce Mountain (East Peak)
Rockport, ME
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Spruce Mountain Trail on the summit with Ragged Mountain in the background.
Route: Spruce Mountain Trail
Trail was mostly dry. Nice directional views from the ledgy east peak (main summit does not have a trail). Pretty quick hike and easy going, except for slight friction scramble near the top. Could have decent blueberries in a good year.
