The peaks in Baxter State Park visible from the Debsconeag Deadwater, part of the Penobscot River corridor. I made this panorama by taking 10 individual shots in my bouncing kayak and merging them in Lightroom–an easy feat compared to what the river drivers of the past had to do to harvest timber.

Angel Falls is one of the highest waterfalls in Maine. The hike to the falls is just over a mile, with a few crossings of Mountain Brook. Finding the trail head might be the hardest part. On my first trip there years ago, the parking area was marked with an old t-shirt and you had to walk down a short dirt road to find the trail. Maine staying wild or what?
Here are directions to the trail head and a trail description. Definitely worth the trip!
