Mt. Katahdin via Chimney Pond and Saddle Trails

I have done this specific hike twice and I have to say Kathadin and Pamola are moody peaks. They offer such nice views even on a foggy day, and is so rewarding once you get to the top of it, but here are some things to consider that actually made my hike more pleasant: - Definitely better if you consider camping at Baxter State Park the night before your hike. - Prepare to bring a couple extra layers and be prepared for some unexpected rain or wind. - Bring some gloves, if it gets rainy, it can get cold at the top. - Bring enough water and a light lunch. - Don’t forget to bring head-lamps - Don’t forget you AID kit. Although this is the easiest way to the top, we had a friend who accidentally slipped and got quite a cut in her leg. Fortunately, we had everything we needed and it was not a major injury. - If crossing the knife’s edge, keep in mind weather conditions can change anytime. Be mindful of your surroundings and skip it if it seems like the wind is picking up. Bring your camera, and get ready for some amazing shots cause these views are killer!
