Attraction: Abol Trail

This hike takes you to the summit of Maine's highest peak and the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Moose are frequently seen in the hardwood forest as you approach the gravelly terrain that marks the beginning of the Abol slide. In the link between Thoreau Spring and Baxter Peak you are traversing the final portion of the Appalachian Trail, which ends on the summit. The trailhead is at Abol Campground in Baxter State Park.
