About the Community Hikes Program
The Maine A.T. Land Trust’s Community Hikes program provides free guided hiking trips to the general public from May to October and then from January to March. There are typically two to three hikes per month (depending on weather) and trips are guided by trained trip leaders. The program has been enormously successful at bringing individuals to the A.T. landscape but they can fill up quickly! The limit for participants is usually 5-8 individuals. If a hike you would like to attend is currently filled up, please email us at info@matlt.org to get on the waiting list. Summer hikes will be listed in May, winter hikes will be listed in December, so check back if you don’t see any!
Fall 2024 Update
We typically have 3-4 hikes in the fall season but due to some trip leader travel and downtime, we will probably be offering fewer this fall. But please continue to check back and sign up for the MATLT newsletter to make sure you know when new hikes are posted!
The next Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust community hike will be on Sunday, September 9th at 10am, to the Crockers in Maine’s High Peaks region. From Caribou Valley Road in Carrabassett Valley, this hike will be 3.6 miles up to first South Crocker and then (north) Crocker Mountain, then back down for a total distance of 7.2 miles. This is a strenuous hike on one of the great stretches of the A.T. in Maine!
You must RSVP (in case of schedule changes or weather issues) below or by contacting us at info@matlt.org or by calling 207-808-2073. Carpooling will be arranged a few days before the hike.
