Caribou Mountain
About
Caribou Mountain is a summit in Maine, about 12 miles from the town of Milbridge. It sits at roughly 970 feet, and several short hikes lie within a couple of miles, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 60°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a little cooler. The closest trails are Caribou Loop, about 1.6 miles away, and Redmans Beach Trail, about 1.8 miles away. Schoodic Mountain Trail is about 4 miles off, and paddlers can head to Day Ridges Preserve Paddler's Trail, about 8 miles away.
