The Highlands Trail Guide
Highlands Trail Guide Introduction
Updated 6/11/24 – The Highlands Trail Guide is your go-to resource for planning hikes along the Highlands Trail. Below, you’ll find several maps linked, followed by detailed descriptions of each trail segment. We welcome your hike reports, questions, comments, suggestions, and any concerns. Please feel free to reach out to the volunteer Highlands Trail Chair at [email protected]
Important: Make sure to read the alerts for each section before you hike. These alerts provide critical updates, such as trail reroutes not reflected on your map or temporary closures. One alert even informs hikers that HT users are allowed to open a fence gate to access the trail. It’s essential to plan ahead, especially in areas with limited cell service, so you have all the information you need before heading out.
