About This Trail
A steady 5-mile round-trip climb gaining 1,830 feet to South Turner Mountain’s open summit ledges, offering panoramic views of Katahdin’s entire massif that rival the views from Baxter Peak itself. Starting from Roaring Brook Campground, this is an excellent alternative for hikers seeking dramatic alpine scenery without Katahdin’s full-day commitment.
