Description

Every trip to the Allagash, I hike up Allagash Mountain. Once you see the view, it is hard to pass up the short hike to the top. While the distance the trail covers is not great, it nonetheless provides access to a remote outcrop in a wild, remote area. A recently renovated fire tower sits atop the open peak, where soil is thin or non-existent and low spruce trees show the effects of being battered from harsh winds and long winters in the north country. Tightly grained volcanic rock (basalt) lies exposed under your feet at the summit area.

On a clear day, views are immense. Allagash Lake, arguably the wildest part of the entire 92 –mile Allagash Wilderness Waterway, is nestled below. Chamberlain, Eagle, and Churchill Lakes sit further to the east and north. To the west, the vast watershed of the Upper St. John River rolls before the eyes, and to the south, the lands drain away to the Upper West Branch of the Penobscot River.
