Blazing on the Tumbledown Mountain Trail is very faded but still visible. We met at work shortly before 7:00 am and took a couple of cars up to Weld, Maine. One mountain kept coming up; Tumbledown. The last 20 minutes to the top was absolutely grueling!! 0000029110 00000 n

This route is one of the most direct paths to the summit, as it rises steeply up the mountainside, eventually intersecting with the Tumbledown Ridge Trail, which provides access to the mountain's peaks. My watch recorded a total of 5.7 miles starting at the Brook trail parking area (it does have signs) to the loop Trail that is about 1.2 miles further up the road on the right. This looks unusual to me for a Maine vista in that there's no body of water visible in the picture. Lots of ice. 0000401251 00000 n
