I saw another submitter of trail conditions discuss this path and it sounded like a great way to get the three peaks done. Parked at Sugarloaf and Greg from All Points Transportation came and got me at 6 a.m. and to the trailhead about 40 minutes later. Highly recommend him- super friendly and knowledgeable about Maine which is helpful when you don't live in the amazing state.
I did not see a soul for 6 hours! Mt Abraham had spectacular views and a wide variety of the actual trail that was super intersting. I am sold on that hike! After Abraham and over to Spaulding seemed like it took forever and limited views. Sugarloaf has some good views with of course lots of towers to look around. Then I took the access road down. Maybe I took the wrong way down but that way tore up my feet and I had more ankles twists and slides than the rest of the hike combined! I have had long hikes before but this hike defiintely taxed my legs.
All in all a really great hike. Thanks Maine!
