Snow Mountain

Snow Mountain is a summit located in Franklin County, Maine, with steep slopes forested densely at lower elevations and transitioning to exposed rock and sparse vegetation toward the peak. The terrain becomes progressively more open as hikers gain elevation on the mountain.

The mountain served as a navigation landmark for early settlers moving through Franklin County during 1800s expansion into the region. Its prominent position made it a recognizable reference point in the landscape for local communities.

Winter expeditions to Snow Mountain attract mountaineers and photographers who document the extreme conditions of Maine's elevated terrain.

The mountain is most accessible during summer months when snow has melted and trails are clearer for hiking. During colder seasons, proper winter gear and appropriate footwear become necessary for safe passage on the slopes.

The summit provides views of multiple peaks in the region while experiencing temperatures that can drop to negative 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
