Located in the northern half of the state of Maine rises the striking profile of Mount Katahdin nestled within the rugged and remote Baxter State Park. At an elevation of 5,268ft and a prominence of 4,290ft, it is a stunning site for even the most avid outdoor adventure seeker. It also serves as the northern terminus or kickoff for Appalachian Trail hikers. There are a number of rugged trails that ascend Katahdin, as well as the spectacular Knife Edge Trail that connects Pamola Peak and Baxter Peak. There are numerous fees and permits required for different activities within the park, so plan ahead accordingly before visiting.
