Sentier De La Slousse is a 1.5-mile hike in Maine, a short, easy outing with a front-loaded climb of about 540 feet. The trail starts at roughly 2,050 feet and reaches a high point of about 2,440 feet, with the steepest stretch at the beginning. The nearest town is Daaquam, about 21 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Clayton Lake show July highs around 76°F with lows near 52°F, though that station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The hike makes an easy pairing with other routes in the area. Sentier Des Géants lies just 0.1 mile away, and Sentier Du Versant Sud, Sentier Des Parois and Sentier Des Dryades are all within about a mile and a quarter.
