Mount Hayes rises up to an elevation of 2,555 feet and towers over the town of Gorham. The mountain isn't even close to being the tallest in the forest, but it directly borders the town and its ridge offers a cool perspective of the valley and city. The actual summit is covered in trees, and most of the views are blocked unless you walk west towards its cliffs.
