Stone Mountain
About
Stone Mountain is a summit in Maine, rising to 1,614 feet about 7 miles from the town of Kezar Falls. The Stone Mountain Trail starts half a mile away, and the Twin Brook Trail is under a mile off, so either makes a natural way to reach the top. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 82°F and September highs near 73°F, though that station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. In winter, the Brushfire and Buck Hunter ski touring routes lie about a mile away. Climbers can head roughly 8 miles to the Jockey Cap Bouldering area.
