Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust

Caribou Mountain Hike
2026-02-21 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Caribou Mountain, 436 Bog Road, Unorganized Territory of South Oxford, ME, 04217, United States
Our next MATLT Community Hike of the winter will be on Saturday, February 21st at 9:00am. We will be heading up Caribou Mountain in the White Mountain National Forest. While the mountain is not directly on the Appalachian Trail it is on Forest Service land (like much of the A.T. landscape to the south) and there are great views of areas where the trail passes to the west and north. Plus it is one of our favorite trips! It is rated as strenuous and you will need full winter gear, including snowshoes.
We will be taking the Caribou Trail from the east trailhead, which is 2.8 miles down Bog Road off Route 2 in West Bethel. Many guidebooks only describe this trail from the Route 113 side in Evans Notch, so please take note of the directions. The hike is relatively moderate for most of its length and the distance to the summit is 3.1 miles (returning the same way). We will meet in the parking area past Pooh Corner Farm at the end of bog road.
You must RSVP for this hike through this page or contact us (info@matlt.org or 207-808-2073)!
