  • On the way to Maine for the weekend of hiking, I passed this barn on the side of the road
  • With the bridges washed out, parking is now before the two crossings of Ladd Brook, which need to be crossed on foot
  • After a brief walk up an old logging road (now OHRV trail) you come to the old trail head
  • Sign at the old trail head. The cabin mentioned no longer exists and is now tent sites
  • One of multiple brook crossings on the way to the old cabin site
  • At a crossing of another OHRV trail
  • The hiking trail heading back into the woods
  • The first couple miles of trail are quite easy and are similar to this
  • The last brook crossing before the old cabin site and the trail turns up the mountain getting steeper
  • Now heading up the side of the mountain, this is one of many blow downs. This tree was easy to walk under though
  • Coming out of the trees onto the lose rocks
  • Looking across the mountainside
  • Looking back down the trail. A small sign can be seen where the trail comes out of the trees
  • Mt. Spaulding and Sugarloaf Mtn. can be seen to the north
  • Some smaller mountains to the northeast
  • You can see patches of past logging on this mountain
  • Blueberries high up on the mountain. Might be time for a snack
  • View north looking across the mountain
  • The trail wanders up the mountain going through the scrub brush
