Mount Katahdin | Baxter & Hamlin Peak | Baxter State Park | Maine 14 | Fall Hike | Maine

We completed this hike on October 4, 2023 at Baxter State Park in Millinocket, Maine. We started this hike very early in the morning as we also planned to include Knife Edge. Due to the long hike the day prior and the distance we would be facing if we included Knife Edge, we decided to come back and do another trail including Knife Edge next year. We camped on the Katahdin Stream side right at the Hunt Trailhead which made our decision easy for the ascent. Hunt is no easy task. You will face many scrambles and a lot of steep elevation on the way up tp Baxter Peak. After Ascending Hunt and reaching Baxter Peak, we decided to bag Hamlin as well and do an out-and-back utilizing the Saddle cut-off to get over to Abol. We used Abol for our descent which was also interesting with lots of scrambles. We were lucky to hitch a ride back to our camp site at Katahdin Stream and avoid an extra 2.5 mile walk at the end. In all, we did about 13.5 miles with 5,400 feet of elevation gain in 10 hours. This is a beautiful hike should you try this route, but keep in mind it is not for the beginner.
