Hundreds of trails criss-cross the landscape, visiting mountains, hills, waterfalls, peat bogs, meadows and ocean cliffs. I haven’t come close to exploring all of these footpaths, though this autumn, I did hike a few new-to-me trails that I’d recommend you try. First up: Mosquito Mountain in The Forks. Next: Blueberry Mountain just north of Weld. The next peak I explored this fall? Pleasant Mountain in the towns of Bridgton and Denmark. Lastly, I hiked Number 5 Mountain, which is located southwest of Jackman in Number 5 Township. This winter, I’ll try hiking at least four more “new” trails — in addition to returning to some of my old favorites. Any suggestions?
