"Great hike. The whole trail in is very gradual in gain until right at the end when you bust up the .3 miles on the summit trail. Talk about solitude! Didn't see one single person the entire time. Very peaceful, great views. One of the more remote, un-traveled peaks in BSP. Made great time out on the trail back out, because the gradual descent was so easy. Nice couple days of camping. I will miss the park for the next few months!" — mikewilliamsjr • Sep 19, 2022

"Did a short day hike up Beech mtn from Long Pond trailhead in a loop going up west ridge tr and down south ridge and valley trail. It was a beautiful day with great views from the tower at the summit" — noahthackeray • Sep 4, 2022

"Hiked Black Cat and South Branch Mtn on the way from South Branch Campsite to Russell Pond. The hike was more challenging than I expected, and the couple parts with views were amazing, especially those of the travelers and katahdin after the peak of Black Cat Mtn" — noahthackeray • Aug 16, 2022

"Hiked the traveler loop in the counter clockwise direction. It was a hot and sunny day, and I ran out of water before the end of the hike. The trail is very exposed and the views were amazing!" — noahthackeray • Aug 15, 2022
