It&#8217;s not very strenuous (although it&#8217;s also not a breeze) and it has beautiful views from an open peak. To get away from the crowds, head over to Stone Mountain (1,615 ft.), reached via a 0.7-mile side trail, where the views are not quite as nice as Burnt Meadow&#8217;s but are still wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare for some steep sections and rock scrambles as you ascend up Burnt Meadow Mountain&#8217;s North Peak on the blue-blazed trail, a distance of approximately 1.2 miles. You&#8217;ll have a bit more of a gradual hike on the yellow-blazed Twin Brooks Trail, which will bring you to Burnt Meadow&#8217;s summit in roughly 2.2 miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total loop, without adding Stone Mountain, adds up to 3.4 miles, according to my GPS. (Other sources clock it as a bit longer.) Including Stone Mountain in your adventure will add 1.4 miles (it&#8217;s about 0.7 to the summit of Stone from the junction with Twin Brooks Trail).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong> From Route 113, take a left (if you&#8217;re coming from the south) onto Rt.&nbsp;160 south. Route 160 takes a sharp left \u2014 don&#8217;t miss it! Go past the public boat launch on Burnt Meadow Pond (where you can swim after your hike), and the trailhead parking is a few hundred yards on your&nbsp;right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.97196%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48887\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadow800a\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800a.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800a.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.02804%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1067\" data-id=\"48892\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadow800b\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800b-768x1024.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800b-768x1024.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:37.46468%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48890\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadow800c-2\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800c-1.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800c-1.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"600\" data-id=\"48889\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadow800d\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800d.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800d.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"450\" data-id=\"48888\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadow800e\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800e.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadow800e.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:62.53532%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"997\" data-id=\"48891\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/burnt-meadow-mountain-brownfield\/burntmeadowmap\/\" data-url=\"https:\/\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadowmap.jpg\" data-width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainebyfoot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/burntmeadowmap.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a popular mountain (1,570 feet, elevation gain ~1,130 ft.) just an hour from Portland.
