White Mountain National Forest: Caribou-Speckled Region Hiking Guide

One of the quietest parts of the White Mountains, the Caribou-Speckled Mountain Wilderness and its surroundings east of Route 113 are almost entirely within the state of Maine, and top out at around 2900 feet in elevation. But the size of the hills here belie the beautiful scenery and lovely views from the wilderness area's namesake mountains, as well as Blueberry Ledge, Deer Hill, and Albany Mountain.

Also home to the Appalachian Mountain Club's Cold River Camp, this is a great area for lighter day-hikes and escapes from the more crowded high peaks of the Whites.
