Black Mountain
About
Black Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 11 miles from the town of Milbridge. It makes a compact objective for anyone exploring the trails in this corner of the state, with several hiking routes starting close by. Summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 79°F in July to about 71°F in September. That station sits several hundred feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. The closest trails are Caribou Loop, less than half a mile away, and Black Cliff Trail, under a mile off. Redmans Beach Trail lies about 1.7 miles away, and Schoodic Mountain Trail is roughly 3.3 miles away for a longer day in the area.
