Black Cap Mountain, Mountain summit in Penobscot County, Maine, US
Black Cap Mountain rises to an elevation of 1,020 feet, featuring granite peaks with scattered scrubby trees across its exposed surface.
The mountain's landscape transformed after the 1938 New England hurricane, leading to replanting efforts that introduced spruce trees to the area.
The Katahdin Area Council manages two-thirds of the mountain, including Camp Roosevelt, which serves as a center for youth outdoor education.
Visitors can access the summit through a hiking trail that begins at the parking lot near Camp Roosevelt, with clear markers guiding the path.
The summit houses various broadcasting equipment, including a Maine Public Radio transmitter, making it a crucial communication point in the region.
