    Baxter State Park in the Winter

    Yeah, there's snow. Bookmark this for weather. Calling the Park will get you snow depth and road conditions. Skis for tote road, a haul sled, head lamps, thermometer, wind chill chart... You've already mailed in your form? When you say traverse of the Traveler, you mean the Loop? That's a long...

    RIP Maine Woods National Park - Wilderness protection to multiple use

    AT in a single calendar winter

    A winter trek from Baxter Peak to Glencliff would be hard enough. And far beyond the skill set of almost all but a few AT backpackers.
