Jordan Mountain
About
Jordan Mountain is a summit in Maine, rising to 2,652 feet about 8 miles from the town of Bethel. It sits in the high country of northern Maine, and the Jordan Loop hike starts just 0.4 miles away, making it the natural way to approach the peak. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 52°F, and the summit sits well above that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Several other outings lie close by. The Beechnut Loop is 0.6 miles away, and White Cap Summit is about 3 miles off. For an overnight base, Hastings Campground is roughly 9 miles away.
