Clouds Over Katahdin
Clouds fill Katahdin’s North Basin on an early October morning.
Witherle Ravine from the Owl
Looking into the Witherle Ravine between Katahdin and the Owl in Baxter State Park.
Katahdin Light
Early evening light on the Katahdin headwall as clouds roll in. An advantage of camping at Chimney Pond is having a front row seat as the light on the mountain changes through the day.
Knife Edge
Katahdin’s Knife Edge, a 1.1-mile trail between Pamola and Baxter Peaks.
Spruce and North Basin
Spruce branches frame the North Basin of Katahdin in Baxter State Park.
Tamaracks in Fall
From the viewpoint off the Chimney Pond trail on Katahdin. Tamaracks turn yellow in the fall. Hamlin Ridge, Hamlin Peak, and the North Basin are in the background.
Blueberry Pond
Blueberry Pond in Katahdin’s North Basin as viewed from the Hamlin Ridge trail. Basin Ponds and Sandy Stream Pond are further in the distance.
From the North Basin
Looking east from Katahdin’s North Basin. South Turner Mountain is on the left. Katahdin Lake is in the distance, with (right to left) Martin Ponds, Sandy Stream Pond, and Whidden Ponds all visible. The mountains in the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument are in the distance.
Blueberry Knoll from Basin Ponds
Blueberry Knoll in Katahdin’s North Basin as viewed in late afternoon October light from the shoreline of one of the Basin Ponds. My friend and I hiked into the North Basin on the North Basin trail and returned to the Chimney Pond trail via the North Basin Cutoff trail. The Basin Pond viewpoint was a perfect resting spot before our hike back down to Roaring Brook.
