On our next Community Hike of the winter, we will head 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!
We will take the Caribou Trail from the east trailhead, which is 2.8 miles down Bog Road off US-2 in West Bethel. Many guidebooks only describe this trail from the ME-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 via email or by calling (207) 808-2073. When entering a Forest Service wilderness area, the limit per group is ten people. We will coordinate ridesharing. There will be updates on snow conditions a few days prior to the hike.
