Borestone Mountain located at the edge of the 100 Mile Wilderness near Monson is a good bang for the buck that I sometimes escape to for a quick outing. With a free afternoon and just a few hours of light I headed there Monday afternoon. With crystal clear skies, I wasn't disappointed.
At just under 5 miles and about 1100' of vertical gain, Borestone isn't the hardest hike but 360 views make it very rewarding with not too much effort.
It is a fairly popular local hike not too far from Moosehead Lake area. It is best seen from the AT from Barren Mountain.
I have a full trip report with quite a few pics at my blog http://tomcatoutdoors.blogspot.com/2013/11/borestone-mountain.html
A nice little peak to visit
