Bill Merrill Mountain
About
Bill Merrill Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 3.5 miles from the town of Kezar Falls. The best season for comfortable conditions runs from late spring through early fall. At the East Hiram weather station 5.3 miles away, typical averages reach highs near 74°F in June and 70°F in September. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The Merrill Mountain Trail starts just 0.7 miles away and is the closest route in the area. Nearby options include the Saco Ridge Trail, the Northwest Trail, and Burnt Meadow Mountain a little farther out.
