WMS Map: Baxter Mountain
About Baxter Mountain ....
Discover this 2.9-mile round trip trail near Keene Valley, New York of NY 9N, offering a moderately challenging hike. With its popularity, expect to encounter fellow hikers along the way. The trail is generally smooth with gentle slopes, but the upper section gets steeper, featuring rocks and some easier scrambling. Keep an eye out for blue trail markers, especially where side trails diverge. Near the summit, the blue trail transitions to yellow. This trail traverses through an easement on private property. It's crucial to stick to the designated path and heed any posted instructions to respect the landowner's rights.
