"Nice little hike. Definitely winded me pretty good, as it is mostly an uphill grind. It's only about a mile up, but it was all up. Perham trail down was a lot of fun coming down the switchbacks. Nice view from the scenic outlook. Summit is treed in. " — mikewilliamsjr • May 7, 2019

"Great solo hike. Ring trail around the pond was in awful condition. Had to go off trail a lot to avoid the muck. Hard to find the split to the mountain trail, but once I did, it was a pretty steady climb for a good half mile or so. Gained elevation quickly to a great open false summit with a view of the pond. A brief down hill on the other side lead to the unmarked trail up to the true summit. Views aren't as good there, other than a good look at neighboring Streaked Mountain. Hike down was brisk and pretty easy." — mikewilliamsjr • Apr 25, 2019

"Brought the family and the dogs up to the great small park. The first part on the multi-use trail is boring, but once you get on the bald rock trail, it's much more fun. Areas of ice were still a problem, but it was pretty easily navigated. Windy that day, but view was still awesome. Went down the other side toward Frohock Trail to make it more of a loop.

"Doug and I teamed up with 3 other people to get this one. We used snowmobile tracks whereever possible, but we did have to break trail heading up to the summit. We reached the canister. Light snowfall for most of the day." — newenglandwarrior • Feb 18, 2019

"Part of a group hike. Doug and I along with 9 others made a successful attempt on Elephant. GPS tracks helped out immensely. After this hike, Doug proposed the idea of a night hike of the Saddlebacks. We made the attempt and were successful. Wind chill was rough up there but it was beautiful seeing Rangeley lit up. Full moon and clear skies helped. " — newenglandwarrior • Feb 17, 2019
