Crocker Mountain Details
A 16-mile strenuous out-and-back hike to the fourth tallest summit in Maine, Crocker Mountain is popular among peak baggers and Appalachian Trail travelers. Crocker Mountain has two peaks with a loop trail connecting them to make up what is known as the Crocker Cirque Loop.

Those looking to undertake the challenge are rewarded with forested mountain views and a feeling of being lost in the woods.
