Traveler Mountain is the tallest mountain north of Katahdin in the state of Maine. It is all that remains of volcanic activity that took place hundreds of millions ago and is located west of the Penobscot River’s east branch and east of South Branch Ponds. The mountain is reminiscent of a giant starfish, with ridges and trails that run west, north, and south. Traveler Mountain Trail is just over a mile in length. It features a mixed terrain that includes a section referred to as Little Knife Edge, which is smaller than, but similar to, the legendary Knife Edge, which can be found on Mount Katahdin. Map
