Hike to Mt. Abraham campsite. The sign at the trailhead says it is 1.8 miles to the campsite, though we found it to be nearly a mile further. There is an outhouse and a nearby stream for water. Very nice and peaceful as few people use the campsite. Be sure to pack a headnet if you plan to hike in June--the blackflies were terrible!
