Caribou-Speckled Mountain Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in White Mountain National Forest, Maine.
The 11,236-acre wilderness features northern hardwood forests, steep cliffs, glacial potholes, and mountain peaks reaching elevations of 2,906 feet at Speckled Mountain.
Mount Caribou received its name in 1854 when two brothers hunted the last caribou in the region and carved their names at the mountain summit.
The wilderness designation in 1990 reflects American environmental conservation values through the preservation of natural landscapes and wildlife habitats.
Multiple trailheads provide access to hiking routes, with the Caribou Trail and Mud Brook Trail forming a moderate 6.9-mile loop suitable for day hikes.
The area contains distinctive geological formations from glacial activity, including slides, notches, and numerous streams that feed into the Saco and Androscoggin Rivers.
