Nice. We did this last year. Today we went to Marshal Point Light instead. Great day for it.

Nice! I love Mt. Battie! That whole area is a nice drive on Route 1.

How hard of a climb is that?

Not hard.

There are several trails up. One is short and steep the others are pretty easy hikes. And you can drive up if you want!

I remember hiking up the short and steep trail our first visit to Battie. It wasn’t too rough, but there were a couple areas my wife and I need to slow down to focus. As we approached the summit, we saw a bunch of old people milling about. I was really confused because though the short & steep trail is doable for anyone in condition resembling anything decent, it was way too much for some of these folks.
Then we reached the summit and I saw buses dropping people off just beyond the tower…
