Chase Outdoors

Perhaps the most remote mountain hike in our book, Mountains for Mortals - New England, North Traveler Mountain offers climbers many unique features. Located in northern Baxter State Park on the east shore of picturesque South Branch Pond, it is one of the more scenic and isolated hikes in Maine.  Surrounded by mountains, South Branch Pond has the character of an inland fjord.  The ascent is moderate in difficulty but the summit and much of the exposed trail offers panoramic views of this beautiful, rugged and unfrequented area.  Our book provides details on obtaining access to the park, precise directions to the trailhead, a recommended route to the summit, map, elevation profile, photos and other pertinent information.  Additional hiking opportunities and the availability of camping and lodging in the area are also discussed.  Visit our website at www.ronchaseoutdoors.com for more information.
