Each summer, hikers flock to Katahdin, the tallest mountain in Maine. It’s the most popular destination in Baxter State Park, and for good reason. But it may not always be the best hiking option for you. There are many other spectacular mountains in the park to hike. Baxter is home to more than 220 miles of hiking trails. And they’re all wonderful. All of these treks offer spectacular views of the park: Mount OJI, Doubletop Mountain, The Owl, South Turner Mountain, Sentinel Mountain, Mount Coe and South Brother, North Traveler Mountain, Trout Brook Mountain, Horse Mountain.
