NOTICE OF TRAIL CLOSURE
As of Friday, October 17th, all Katahdin and Traveler Loop trails are closed for the season. Snow is falling at high elevations in Baxter Park, with expected fluctuations between freezing and thawing temperatures in the coming days. This weather creates conditions that increase hiking’s impact on alpine habitats and trails.
