Towering at 4,050 feet, Mount Abraham is one of the fourteen peaks reaching over 4,000 feet in Maine, making it one of the must-do summit climbs in the state. Besides two peaks in Baxter State Park, almost all of the trailheads to the 4,000 footers are located within an hour’s drive (or less) of Sugarloaf, making it the prime headquarters for any hiker attempting to summit all of them. Of course, Sugarloaf itself is the tallest after Katahdin, at 4,237 feet.
