Trail to Tomorrow

Trail to Tomorrow is a short, easy hike in Maine's West Grand Lake area, set on land managed by a non-governmental organization. The route is about 0.6 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 21 feet, so it's a gentle walk that can be done in half an hour or so. The trail starts at an elevation of about 339 feet and reaches a high point of 343 feet before descending slightly to 308 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.22 miles in, with a grade of about 3 percent. The climb is so slight that it's easy to walk without much effort. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Grand Lake Stream show July and August highs around 78°F with lows in the upper 50s, while winter brings highs in the 20s and regular snow days from December through February. Grand Lake Stream, a river fishing spot, is about half a mile away. Tower Hill Trail and Little Mayberry Cove Trail are both within about a mile and a half, and Wabassus Mountain Trail is roughly 4.7 miles off.
