Glassface Ledges

Glassface.avif

Description

The hike begins with a walk through a cemetery. The trail enters the mixed forest in the back corner on the right, and starts by climbing up a gentle slope on the mountain’s south side. You’ll cross many small brooks and rock hop in a mostly hardwood forest.

 

The trail ends at an open ledge with spectacular views of the Androscoggin River valley about 1,290 feet above sea level

Special Features

  • The name, Glassface comes from the presence of mica in the rock which sparkles with a glass-like appearance.
