Meat Cove Mountain
General Trail Description: From the
Meat Cove Welcome Center to the trailhead is a short
walk back up the road exiting Meat Cove. The trail is a steep steady climb up a valley through
small hardwood. Strategically placed ropes help you up
(and down) a few particularly steep places. (No crawling
necessary.)
The trail
then
follows the top of
an open ridge. To the left one looks up the MC River
valley and to the right one looks out over the ocean.
There may be a few blueberries left- you'll never find a
more dramatic picking site.
There is
a rock outcrop that towers over Meat Cove.
You can look down at the top of your car. Return in the
reverse order.
Caution:
The trail is steep. It may be slick if the weather is
damp. The trail up is protected from wind but the ridge
on top is totally exposed. The top may be cool and
windy.
Wear
layers and good footwear. Be prepared!
3.4 km. 2.5 - 3 hours. Elevation 250
meters.
