Katahdin Woods & Waters Fall Camping and Hiking Adventure at the North End of the Park, October 11-13, 2024
Date: Friday October 11 – Sunday October 13, 2024
Leaders: Elaine and Eric Hendrickson
Who: Maximum of 10 people
Difficulty of the hikes: The hikes are moderate with some steep climbs and stream crossings. It is for those that would like to see a bit more of the monument and is most appropriate for those adventurous individuals (12+) who enjoy long walks and learning about the natural and recent cultural history of the area.
Description of the hikes: Join us for a fall camping/hiking weekend at the Northern End of the Monument. As the days become shorter and the leaves change color, it is a great time to get out and explore. The adventure starts on Friday afternoon with a hike to the Haskell Rock Pitch area. On Saturday there is a longer hike following the trail to visit Messer Pond and perhaps the old river road loop, weather depending. (10-12 miles) Sunday will be a shorter day with a hike along the Seboeis River Trail. This is just before the full moon, so it should be a great time to view the night skies.
What to bring: Warm clothes including a hat, gloves, jacket and rain gear all in a backpack. For the hike on Saturday bring a pair of lightweight water shoes for the stream crossing. The use of hiking poles is strongly recommended. Where this is a camping trip, as well you will need a tent, cooking equipment and food for the adventure.
