Howard Hill, Augusta (482') 10/3/2023

With a trailhead located only a couple blocks from the State Capitol building, a well maintained network of trails, and nice views of the city, Howard Hill is an excellent place for a hike within the city limits of Augusta. This Hill is included in the newest edition of the Maine Mountain Guide, and we followed the loop described in the guide today. It's a nice lollipop loop which brings you past both viewpoints and over the summit of the hill.
