Arriving at our Katahdin Maine area capmground.
Beautiful stream along our 17 mile in park route to the Double Top Mountain trailhead.
Mount Katahdin, Maine's highest point, in Baxter State Park. Also called Baxter Peak.
This place is WAY out in the wild. The park has one gravel road through it and was set aside for people who are willing to hike to see wild places. Katahdin is the northern terminus of the Appalachian trail.
It is also the steepest hike we have ever done. It was only 3 miles to the top, but the first and the last mile were relatively flat. The middle one gained nearly 2000 ft. Our calves, thighs, and buttocks are sore.
