I am looking at running a backpacking trip to Maine and was wondering if anyone had any solid loops/trails in mind. I am not familiar with the state of Maine since I am a born and bred Wisco man, but I am interested in getting to know Maine a little more intimately. I would like to do a coastal or inland loop/trail that could span any number of miles. I'm not too picky. If anyone knows of any higher altitude routes, that would be swell as well!
If anyone could shed a little light on my quest, it would be greatly appreciated.
Katahdin knife edge is fantastic. Definitely need a head for heights and comfortable scrambling skills. There are several circuits you can do on that mountain to make several days of it. Accomodation at the shelters / lean-to's needs to be booked well in advance if you want to stay overnight. Not sure when you are Also being in northern Maine by October there is a good chance of snow, and for the winter months the access road is closed and the rangers will check you have proper gear.
