About

Number Five Mountain is a summit in western Maine, about 6 miles from the small community of Holeb. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A weather station near Rangeley, about 38 miles away and well below the summit, records typical July highs around 75°F and lows near 53°F, and temperatures on the mountain run cooler than that. The Number Five Mountain Trail is about 2 miles away. Holeb Falls Portage sits roughly 3 miles off, and paddlers can reach the Moose River Bow Loop about 4 miles away. The Sally Mountain Trail, around 8 miles away, adds another summit hike in the area.
