Peaked Mountain
About
Peaked Mountain is a summit in western Maine, about 5 miles from the town of Bethel. It makes a compact objective for anyone spending time around Bethel and looking to add a high point to a day outdoors. Summer into early fall is the most comfortable stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bethel show July highs around 79°F with lows near 57°F, and September highs around 71°F. That station sits a few hundred feet below the summit, so expect it to run a bit cooler up top. The surrounding area offers plenty to pair with a visit. Maggie's Nature Park Trail starts just 0.1 mile away. The Western Mountains climbing area and the McClain's Lane cross-country ski route are each about 0.8 mile off, and Lapham Ledge Trail is roughly 2 miles away.
