Mystery Mountain Trail (6/19/2026)

This morning, we headed over to Rumford for a short hike up the Mystery Mountain Trail to its two viewpoints on an unnamed 1,212' peak. It had been a few years since I'd hiked here, but things remained pretty much the same as I remembered. The short trail is in good shape and is well marked.

We enjoyed good views from both viewpoints, and lingered near the upper viewpoint a bit. We also checked out the trail that continues to the higher peak above and followed it a short distance to a recently installed "No Trespassing" sign. On the way down, we changed it up a bit and followed Sweet Fern Road back to the parking lot. The road is quite overgrown and the trail is definitely the preferred route.
