Top 5 Side Trails

1-Old Speck Summit. So you got beat up in
Mahoosuc Notch...and the ascent of Mahoosuc Arm
was an absolute monster...and getting up to the trail
junction seems like punishment enough. The summit
of Old Speck is one of the great views of the Maine AT.
Once though to be the second highest summit in
Maine, the view from the Presidentials to New
Hampshire's north country is unequalled.

2-Goose Eye.
I know you feel like you're high enough
when you see the side trail. You're not. The one tenth
of a mile really does make a difference.

3-South Crocker. The Crockers are more view-
challenged than the mountains around them so the
short side trail is a small price to pay.

4-Old Man's Head. Come on. It's the Bigelows!

5-Potaywadjo Ridge. Magnificent view of Jo-Mary
Lake from a slightly sloping ledge. The only downside
is the distance from the trail.
