Mount Tom
About
Mount Tom is a summit in Maine, about 3 miles from the town of Fryeburg. It sits at roughly 1,060 feet, and the Mount Tom Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, making it the natural way to reach the top. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Fryeburg show September highs around 73°F with lows near 46°F, and July highs around 82°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. The surrounding area offers more to do. The Roped climbing area and Jockey Cap Bouldering are both under 3 miles away. The Southwest Ridge Trail is about 4 miles off, and Lewey's Loop, across the state line in New Hampshire, is about 5.5 miles away.
