On 9/30/11 it was an absolutely gorgeous fall morning at Mt. Katahdin – the rising sun was lighting up the colorful trees, but the summit was concealed by clouds.
Sharon and I took a drive up the Golden Road (logging road) and this was the view of Mt. Katahdin – Baxter State Park, from the bridge near the Appalachian Trail. While we were there, we saw many hikers with full beards who began hiking months ago from Georgia. Mt. Katahdin is their final destination – the most northern point of the Appalachian Trail.

Thank you so much for the features!!!
