Last Friday, a friend and I climbed Albany Mountain (1,930 feet) in Albany Township near Bethel, Maine. It was my first time up this easternmost peak in the White Mountain National Forest.

We met no one on this quiet southwest Maine hike. The trail was pleasant, rising from a moist and shady mixed forest up to an open red pine rocky ridge. After a short ridge walk and short descent, the final southwest viewpoint was unique and a great place to linger in the sun.
