Summary

PROPOSED TRAIL ROUTE: Ring, Rocky Road, Porcupine, Ridge, Hidden, Porcupine, Chestnut Oak, Ring, Vultures View, Big A, Summit Staircase, Big A, Blueberry Bluff, Ring (actually the route is fairly easy to follow) .

Walking the 5 - 6 miles of trails should take under 3 hours. Afterwards let’s do lunch at a local eatery of the group’s choosing (maybe grab a bite around Ogunquit – about 5 miles away).

MEETING LOCATION: We will meet in the parking area on Mountain Road. But if you can’t find parking there go down Mount Agamenticus Road which has several parking areas – then just walk back to the Mountain Road parking area.

Make sure to bring the following:
•   Hiking footwear/boots - bring what you've got - stabilizers/micro-spikes/snowshoes – the trails are heavily used so they are packed down.
•   Dress in layers
•   Plenty of water
•   A snack (lunch will probably be between 1 and 2pm - if you decide to join us)
