Incredible video. Thanks for posting. Not only the fact you climbed Katahdin, but filmed the experience for us all to enjoy. Baxter State Park is our first stop on our ‘retirement trip’ for my wife and I this Fall. We are in Eastern Canada, and plan to visit as many US State parks as we can over 10 months.

Thank you! I'm prepping to do this in 4 months and after a lot of dead end research on the official AT and Baxter sites, this is the first useful directly applicable info I've found. Also, kudos on your choice of footwear. So many people are married to the tradition of huge clunky high top monster boots that they over look the practicality of comfort shoes good for bouldering.

Great job! And by the way, I hope the current court ruling gets overturned regarding average Joe's filming and posting national park videos on KZfaq and Tik-Tok. It's really a shame that they have lumped KZfaq creators in with Hollywood productions. It's lazy and shortsighted of the law makers who pushed this.

i did this hike from the same campground when i was 19 years old. i hate to say it, it was a long long time ago. it is a great hike and the next day we did the same summit from the north side, which i think is called the "knife's edge" trail. i am glad to see you and others enjoying the same exhillariation i felt back then, and still resides with me. kudos to the State of Maine in protecting this and to you for including this in your youtube web site.

That was definitely one for the big screen, Fantastic! your route sure did look tough enough, practically a knife edge anyway. I went with my Mom in 2013, she made it to that waterfall i went only a little farther to about 2500ft elevation myself / just enough to see some views and experience that dense forest, Mom wanted to see the end of the AT... Awesome you made it to the top no problem. We've seen this and the knife edge route in AT hiker videos but not usually with this kind of detail and quality, thanks for all the effort it took to bring us this video

I did this hike around 1990 with my teenage son. The wife went along but baled at the start of the metal rungs. I would have been about 42 at the time, an avid climber, hiker and skier, but this one was the hardest days hiking that I ever did, and without my son along I would never had made the summit. It should be mentioned that Baxter has a difficult reservation system for camping, and you need to make them as far ahead as you can manage, and hope that the weather cooperates. Because of the remoteness of Katahdin, staying outside the park and doing this hike is not advisable. This route will take most people almost all of the available daylight hours during the summer, so you have to start early. Very nice video- good camera work and tasteful editing and music. It gives a good feel for the real thing, including the enticing false summit at the gateway. When you get there, the realization that you still have to cross the tableland and climb a bit more to reach the summit is a real letdown.

Were nearby in summer 2022. Did not manage to reserve parking as everything was already booked 2 weeks ahead when booking becomes available for out of state travelers. Then spoke with a ranger in Millinocket and she said it is difficult even for Maine residents to get there as there is very few spaces available and reservations fill up quickly and far ahead (for ME residents). Love Maine anyway.
