The Ecological Reserve System protects Maine’s biological diversity, among other purposes. The state’s tallest mountain ash is on Mount Abraham, at an impressive 49 feet tall. The Appalachian Trail cuts through part of the unit and connects to the Mount Abraham Fire Warden Trail, which leads to the summit of, as it is locally known, Mount Abram. Mount Abram is one of the 10 tallest mountains in Maine at 4,050 feet and has a predominantly treeless summit, which provides sweeping views.
