A majestic mountain in the Bristol Cliffs Wilderness, South Mountain is a 2,325-foot-tall trail-less wilderness that is sure to captivate all of your senses.

While the mountain is primarily covered with northern hardwoods, there is a small and beautiful concentration of red spruce and hemlock. A visit to the mountain also means a lovely stop by the Gilmore and North ponds. South Mountain is also home to a very steep cliff, which doesn’t make a great spot for mountain climbing but turns into an incredible wall to climb when winter sets along with the ice.

In terms of camping, there are no set shelters or grounds, but hikers are welcome to pitch tents for a night under the stars. South Mountain
