| Catamount | Fine hike via Fire Warden's Trail  Date Climbed: Oct 21, 1997 | |
| Camped at the trailhead and really had a fun day on this one. I remember it as being a little more strenuous than I expected it would be. Outstanding views and lots of above treeline terrain. Went on to finish the Northeast 111 the following day on Owl's Head, NH. | |

| Great hike. If you have a low clearance vehicle I'd reccomend NOT taking it over the bridges on the access road (the first one is especially bad). There's a stream crossing right at the beggining of the trail that soaked me pretty good half way up my calves (bring extra socks). The first 3 miles or so are very muddy. I spooked a blackbear about halfway to the cabin. From there it's very steep/strenuous, very windy day at the summit. | ||

| Climbed via the Fire Warden's Trail from West Kingfield. A fantastic hike offering plenty of views and solitude. The spectacular summit slopes provide some of the best views of the entire Rangeley-Stratton Region. The lower section of the trail up to the cabin is very muddy and poorly drained but other than that, this one ranks as one of the best hikes in Maine. | |

| I think this was the last significant hike I did with my mom. She's still in good health, but hikes like this are probably out of the question now. | ||

| Trail saves all the work for the section above the firewarden's cabin. Really enjoyed the rocky summit - stuck around for sunset. | |

| I really enjoyed the weird rock art- assembled cairns, arches etc. Someone had alot of time on their hands. The great views and the openness of the mountain's summit reminded me of peaks I'd visited in the western states. | |

| Climbed via the Fire Warden's Trail numerous times. The climb from the old cabin to treeline is steep but the views from treeline to the summit are worth the effort. I really enjoy the view to the north. | |
