Hiking Mount Katahdin

Here are some pictures of our 5 and 1/2 hour ascent up Mount Katahdin. Its the highest point(5,270 feet or 1606 m) in the great State of Maine. It is either the starting or ending point of the Appalachian Trail. It was definitely the most difficult hike that I have been involved with. Only for the amount of boulders that we had to climb to reach the summit. I would definitely climb it again. I don’t have any pictures of our 6 1/2 hour descent do to the fact that  our descent was in the RAIN!!!

Stream Bed, Nope, It’s our Trail up to the top of Katahdin.

A little break in the fog, but it didn’t last long.

A brief look at our surroundings, the break in the fog didn’t last very long.

Looking back at the boulders we just climbed.

Looking back at what our ascent to that point had been. SO MANY BOULDERS!!!
