This was a workout for me who doesn't exercise much. We met a couple who started in the state of Georgia hiking the Appalachian Trail. We had our three dogs with us and they enjoyed it! Beautiful surroundings.

This mountain is not kidding around. We didn't summit b/c of winds and 2" of ice but we got to the Chimney Pond. It's grandeur cannot be put into words. Oh, and less than 2 minutes into our hike we saw two moose. And then at the end of the day we saw 2 more. Thank you, Maine.

Don't miss this world-class attraction. Been there several times and hiked top to bottom. Always a treat for spring fishing, summer hikes and winter sports but my favorite time is in the fall when the leaves turn.

Mt. Katahdin is a fantastic Mountain to climb in a unspoiled wilderness somewhat close to civilization

While at Chimney make time... More

We took Hunts Trail up to Baxter Peak. The 1st 2 miles arent bad at all. But, thats about the time you get above the tree line and the vertical climb up huge granite boulders begin. Its tough, real tough. Some of the boulders are over 20' tall. (Gloves here would have been a good idea.) After that strenuous climb... More
