In the early 1900s, pioneer settler Captain Samuel Holden pointed out an unnamed mountain thick with blueberry bushes and told his daughter, Sally, “That’s your mountain now.” Sally Mountain is a 2,221-foot (676.96-meter) peak in Maine’s Jackman-Moose River Region. A well-marked trail goes upward to the summit for 10.9 kilometers (6.77 miles). Most consider Sally Mountain Trail to be a moderate challenge. Expect a steep start before it levels out at the 1.1-mile (1.8-kilometer) mark, and then another steep stretch before the summit. They say the view at the top is even better than the postcard scenes along the way.
If you’re keen on visiting and renting a vacation rental in Maine, then you should consider stopping by Sally Mountain. Read on to learn about the best cabins near Sally Mountain, Maine, today.
