Mt Katahdin Summit, Baxter State Park

We had awesome weather and declared this as the most exciting, beautiful and challenging hike we have been on. I highly suggest taking this one on if your looking for a challenge both mentally and physically.

Baxter Peak, summit of Katahdin

The Knife Edge section awaits

This image gives good scale and shows how you literally hike on the top edge, on all fours manytimes.

Zoomed further out you can see the scale of Baxter peak on the extreme right

Making our way along the Knifes Edge between Baxter and Pamola peaks. The mountain has claimed 19 lives since 1963, mostly from exposure in bad weather and falls from the Knife Edge. For about 3/10 of a mile the trail is 3 feet wide, with a drop off on either side.

Epic reflection, what you can't see are the 20+ other photographers from all over the country

This guy, trail named Highlife, just finished the entire Appalachian Trail, all 2,184 miles of it at this very moment, it took him just under 6 months.

This trail has proved fatal 19 times

Classic Roaring Brook

We even saw a moose!
