TAKE A HIKE

Come for a hike with Baxter! Each month, follow along as Baxter Outdoors explores one of Maine’s lesser known but still impressive hikes throughout the state. Forget Katahdin and Tumbledown, we’ll show you Maine’s hiking scene as only a local would know it. From day hikes to overnight and easy hikes to strenuous traverses, check-in each month to see the new Baxter Outdoors recommendation!

Newry

Goose Eye Mountain

As good a chance to see a moose as a human

Roxbury

Old Blue Mtn

A hike for hikers who like to hike. Remote and uncharted

Rumford/Peru

Mt. Zircon

A hike with some history. Take a sip of pure spring water from Moon Tide Spring. Summit views in almost every direction!

Buckfield

Streaked Mountain

A short, steep hike close to home. Best bang for the buck hike in the state

Stoneham

Albany Mountain

A local favorite in one of the least traveled sections of the White Mountain National Forest

Weld
