Considering it's mentioned in the Maine Mountain Guide, how often do people actually venture into the Klondike at Baxter State Park? I know the Guide makes note of its "remarkably beautiful pond," but the place always struck me as having the reputation of being so incredibly densely wooded that it wouldn't be much fun to hike through. When I was up at Baxter last year, out of curiosity I asked one of the rangers about it. He started off by saying something like "Back in the day, the timber barons logged everywhere in northern New England at one point or other. However, it's so remote and difficult to get to, no one ever logged the Klondike." He then begged me not to wander in there. Believe me, I didn't need any convincing. I guess I never understood why anyone would want to go through all the effort to go tramping around in there, especially since there are so many majestic peaks in Baxter to visit. After all, it's not like there's even a canister in the Klondike.
Um..., there isn't, is there?
