The Huts
Trails
Maintained by a dedicated crew, the trail system at Maine Huts & Trails is unforgettable. Featuring winding switchbacks, sandy 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 for skiing in the winter, and blue for ungroomed side trails.

Spur of the moment trip
Decided to head out for the long Columbus Day weekend but had not made any specific plans. Decided to try Flagstaff Hut for openings/availability to explore foliage and nearby hiking. A space was available so I headed up and had a great visit. Beautiful foliage and great hiking.
