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.

Testimonials

Maine Beauty & Joy

Maine Huts & Trails far exceeded my expectations … your web site and brochures are very modest with respect to what you offer. Exceptional accommodations, hut placement for excellent options for hiking trails, Maine ‘mother nature’ beauty, and a very comfortable milieu to experience and appreciate living in the ‘now’. Thank you … I plan […]

Great hike in the snow

We scheduled the trip hoping to cross country ski. Due to lack of snow, the trails were too icy to ski so we hiked from the Flagstaff Lake Hut to the Grand Falls Hut and back. The scenery was beautiful. The food and lodging were great. Nice job MHT. The only observation is I think […]

This simply made arriving at the magnificent Grand Falls Hut all the more special. Staff at the hut went above expectations to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. […]
