 | Comments: |
My last hike in the Rangley-Stratton area for NE67. Got there at
6AM & met a woman I knew so we hiked together for the first part.
The road and trail are flat for the first 2 miles & then they start
to climb. The talus field was easy to follow with views galore. 360
views at summit. Somewhere the trail turns into the AT, but it was
not marked. This part of Maine is a true treasure. |
