1. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

North Brother (43 of 67)

Peak number 43 would come the day after 42 (9/9/14) and would be North Brother at 4,151 ft. The mountain is in Baxter State Park in Maine and the hike would end up being 8.88 miles with 3,088 ft of overall elevation gain and 3,307 ft total elevation gain. The weather was great for this hike with plenty of sun and comfortable temperatures. I also saw my first black bear while hiking a 4,000 footer on this hike

  • Doubletop Mountain just on the other side of the road and river from the trail head
  • The start of the trail
  • A poor quality photo showing what the early part of the trail is like
  • Stepping stones leading through a wet section of trail
  • A nice easy section of trail leading to the junction
  • Junction with the Mt. Coe Trail
  • The Marston Trail continuing away from the junction
  • After passing a small swamp, the trail starts to get steep and rough.  this was shortly before I had a young black bear come towards me from out of the trees
  • My first viewpoint of the day.  This is looking to the south
  • Doubletop Mountain
  • A ridge line to the south
  • After the steep section of trail, things level off some and go through a thick patch of spruce
  • Now at the upper junction with the Mt. Coe Trail
  • The Marston Trail leaving the junction towards North Brother
  • From an open spot on the trail, the summit of North Brother is in sight
  • A closer look at the summit
  • As the trail heads up North Brother, it gets badly eroded
  • The trail is also pretty narrow with vegetation encroaching from the sides
  • Another view out through the trees as I get closer to the summit
  • Looking up the trail as it goes over some rocks
