Camped in Gorham, N.H. @ Moose Brook SP & drove the 2 hrs. to Rangeley, ME to hike these two 4000' ers. Weather was overcast
with rain impending but we chose to push on. We hiked the ski trails to the top of the quad & then followed the footpath to the
top of the ridge & the AT. The summit of Saddleback is a short walk south on the AT. To get to the Horn is another 1.7 miles & many
ups & downs. Upon approaching the Horn summit, rain mixed with sleet started to fall & the wind picked up. Needless to say, we
got soaked. We made a quick about face & started our return trip eating lunch in a sheltered dip. The rain & wind finally subsided
as we made our way back to the base lodge. All in all, a good day despite the elements.
