Thank you for a wonderful season! The Monson Appalachian Trail Visitor Center’s final day of operation for 2018 was October 14. We will reopen in June 2019. In the meantime, if you would like to contact us, we will be checking our Facebook messages and emails sent to monsonvisitorcenter@appalachiantrail.org. We look forward to seeing you in summer 2019!

Peak foliage: Over the recent Columbus Day weekend, leaf-peepers at Tobey Falls on Big Wilson Stream enjoyed maples flaunting their fall finery. The falls are roughly 8 miles downstream of the Appalachian Trail crossing of Big Wilson and just a short drive from the Monson A.T. Visitor Center. According to mainefoliage.com, autumn colors along Maine’s A.T. are currently at their peak — hikers on the Trail now will be treated to a spectacular show! [Photo by Wendy Weiger.]
