Morning fog on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. Early November brings a new color palette as most of the leaves have fallen. It also brings quiet, as most of the tourists have left for the season.

Northwest Basin
Davis Pond is in the remote Northwest Basin of Katahdin in Maine’s Baxter State Park. My hike proved to be a true “adventure,” as I planned to continue hiking from the Northwest Basin to Chimney Pond. I woke up in the lean-to only to discover that what was originally forecast as a sunny day turned out to be rainy, complete with thunder and lightning — certainly not a good day to be on the summit of any mountain. The only safe option was to retrace my 14-or-so mile trek back to my original starting point at Roaring Brook. As the Baxter staff emphasizes, the mountain will still be there for another day.
