North Traveler Mountain Trail to Pogy Notch Trail Loop

03/09/22

After the first flat mile on the Poggy trail this becomes a tough and technical hike with lots of scrambling over rocks and scree climbing. The trail is blazed and cairned, but it can still be easy to go astray especially on the Boulder fields. There are some false summits, and lots of exposed ridge walking which provide fantastic views for the majority of the hike. We saw lots of moose droppings, but did not see much wildlife. This was overall a butt kicker, but very fun and beautiful.

Day #1 This Backpacking trip starts at the Roaring Brook campground on the east side of Baxter SP. Immediately after entering the park through the Togue Gate, take the first right towards Roaring Brook CG. Register with the Ranger there and begin your hike to Russell Pond on the Russell Pond Trail. Elevation change is minimal as you hike through beautiful forests, passing multiple ponds for 7....

Mt. Katahdin via Chimney Pond and Saddle Trails

Hiking Katahdin is extremely rewarding and worthwhile. Not only are you welcomed with an incredible view at the summit, but if you hike it later in the year you can have the chance to talk with those finishing their 2,000 mile journey on the Appalachian Trail. There are many routes up this mountain, but one of the easier ones is following the Chimney Pond and Saddle Trails. Park at the Roarin...

Mt. Katahdin via Knife Edge Trail

Start the hike at Roaring Brook Campground and follow the Chimney Pond Trail for 3.3 miles one-way (Elevation gain 1,425 ft). Upon reaching the Chimney Pond Campground, we re-watered and started up Dudley Trail for a short, but steep 1.3 miles one-way (Elevation gain to Pamola Peak 1,988 ft). No water is available on this trail, and it is above the treeline. After breaking for lunch on top of...

Mt. Katahdin via Hunt Trail

Let me start off by saying, this is not an easy hike by any means. Only attempt this if you are an experienced hiker. The route has over 5,000 ft elevation gain in a little over 5 miles. You start off your hike in the Katahdin Stream Campground parking area, following the white Appalachian Trail blazes for the entire hike. If you are hiking this trail in the summer or on a weekend I would sugg...

Rocky Pond

Anytime you're visiting Baxter State Park it is worth making a quick stop at Kidney Pond Campground and hiking the Rocky Pond Trail. From the park's South Gate, Kidney Pond is about an hour's drive along the Park Tote Road heading Northwest. Once on Kidney Pond Road, stay straight at the turn and it will bring you directly to the parking lot. The main trailhead is in front of the parking lot. T...

Mt. Katahdin via Abol Slide Trail

The trailhead starts from the Abol Campground inside of Baxter State Park. I would highly recommend staying the night before so that you can get an early start on the hike as it can be an all-day affair. For the first 1.4 miles, you meander along a stream bed through a densely wooded forest, the trail is very well marked with blazes. You will encounter a labeled scenic viewpoint area that's ...
