The Huts
Trails
Maintained by a dedicated crew, the trail system at Maine Huts & Trails is unforgettable. Featuring winding switchbacks, paths along mountain streams, natural bridges, and incredible views, the trails leading to the huts are some of the best in the world. When using the trail system, you’ll be following white and blue diamonds: white for the main trail, which is groomed in the winter, and blue for ungroomed side trails.
