Moody Mountain
About
Moody Mountain is a summit in Maine, rising to 1,429 feet about 6.6 miles from the town of Bethel. It sits close to several short trails, which makes it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 56°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Rumford. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The J-n-J Backcountry Trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and Buck's Ledge Trail and Lapham Ledge Trail are both within about a mile and a quarter. Climbers can head to a. Western Mountains, roughly 2.4 miles off.
