RAGGED MOUNTAIN: My Favorite in the Camden Hills
My favorite hike in the Camden Hills of Mid-Coast Maine is Ragged Mountain. Located in West Rockport, it is an easy hike to the summit of this distinctive, barren peak with exceptional views of Rockland and Rockport harbors and dozens of offshore islands. Cliffs along its rugged south face overlook scenic Mirror Lake and Pleasant and Spruce mountains beyond. Fall is my preferred time to visit Ragged as the colorful fall foliage amplifies the already spectacular views. Our book, Mountains for Mortals - New England, provides all the information necessary to enjoy a wonderful day of hiking on this exceptional coastal peak. My website, www.ronchaseoutdoors.com provides additional information.
