| a quick summary of our trip out east....I really dug the mt hikes, what a great way to spend the day....hiking and scrambling mountains...its a great low impact workout....my HR average for the total 8 hour round trip was 115....its like a low paced adventure race....(I think we averaged 134 for the 7 hour Adventure O, yes I am a HR geek)...and you put yourself in some amazing places...
Acadia was a great place to take quicker summit hikes with many peaks and routes to choose....we did two summit day hikes on a couple days....lots of variety and you can plan what you want to do depending on your time and evergy level...the Precipice trail was only .8 miles but gained 1000 feet...it was like a scramble most of the way up....and it had some places that gave you the heebee geebees due to exposure...
here...take a look:

what a cool adventure....
Mt Katahdin was epic for us....just a great adventure...sure, we arent big time climbers and perhaps we are easily impressed but it was awesome to be on all fours scrambling up a fairly steep slide feeling like you are climbing at the top of the world....

Mt Mansfield involved some scrambling also....we did it a day after it rained but we had a good day and were glad we could go to the top...

Im sure we have more of this in our future.....Longs Peak? Mt Ranier? definately Pikes Peak because my Brother lives there....

| Epic hike up to Maine's highpoint on remote Mt Katahdin in Baxter State park...our toughest hike ever....11 mile hike with 3800' of elevation gain....we started early and decided to forgo the infamous "knifes edge" route in favor of the easier Saddle trail that was still a significant challenge...lots of "all fours" boulder scrambling up the slide to the long ridge that is Katahdin....we got to the top in 4:05 and took in a view that was incredible at the top of Maine..at the summit we met some thru hikers that were just completing the entire AT....the entire trail was exremely rocky and required constant rock hopping and concentration...I made it without tweaking my ankle...again we kept a good pace and were one of the first to summit and return back down that day....a long and satisfying hike...
13.26% average grade on the way up... |
