A little hard to find....The trailhead for this hike is at the end of a long dirt road. Once you are in Kingfield, there is a sign to turn left for the hike to Mount Abraham. Continue straight and the road becomes a dirt road, and follow the signs for the trail. Trailhead is directly in front of the dirt road that got you there. Very well marked trail with blue blazes. Beautiful foliage. Relatively flat for the first half of the hike. The rocky last part of the hike is very doable, but many loose rocks, so definitely wear hiking boots. Very windy on top with 360 degree views! It took 2 hours/45 min with a few snack breaks and water breaks to get to the summit. |
