Comments: It's that time of year again, time to break out the hiking boots! Completely by coincidence, my first spring hikes of the past 3 years have all been on March 30th. We headed south to find some hikes in the Maine Mountain Guide which I had yet to complete and were likely to have minimal snow.

The first hike was on Hedgehog Mountain in Freeport. We followed the loop described in the MMG on the Hedgehog, Stonewall, and Summit Trails. We then made a second loop utilizing the Foundation, Soule Road, Wentworth, and Hedgehog Trails. The trails only had a few small patches of snow, and spikes were not needed. The trails are all quite easy, pass through mostly open hardwood forest, and offer a small viewpoint at the summit.

It was a great day to be out, and we were treated to sunny skies and good temperatures for hiking!
