This time last May, I climbed Burnt Meadow Mountain (1,575 feet) in Brownfield, Maine. Last Sunday morning, I climbed it again before meeting up with my grandson in Fryeburg, Maine. Evidently, it is a springtime hike for me. That makes sense, and if you do it this spring, you will understand.

This is a great hike for aerobic exercise and good views in a mellow southwest Maine landscape. Like many places social media has put it on the map, it was once an obscure local mountain. Once, I met a salesman from the Midwest on the trail, pausing on his sales route to climb the mountain. He had found it on the website ALLTRAILS.
