Nice hike. It's not terribly difficult. The hardest part is getting here. If you follow Google Maps directions, DO NOT come at it from Millinocket. That shit was scary. There were portions of the "road" that I didn't think we could get through, and there was no possible way to turn back. I was legit scared we would be stranded. Drive the extra highway miles to Stacyville and come in on the actual park loop road. That's an adventure, too, but nothing like what we went through. Hot and muggy, so it's definitely a workout today. Views of Katahdin were kind of obscured by haze and clouds. It is still quiet, though, and a fun adventure.
