As I quietly sat listening to a distant brook, woodpeckers, a winter wren and a hermit thrush, I heard a hiker coming down the trail...

I hiked off trail on the way down Baldface Circle Trail. Somewhere in the hardwoods...

Back on the trail, near Emerald Pool, I met some nice people from Portland who helped me out of the woods. Thank you!!! And your memory was correct; it was me who you met on Mt. Cabot Trail. It was great meeting you again, and thanks again :D


happy trails :)

Great little trip report. Fantastic pictures. The fourth picture the moose looks pretty mad like it was going to run after you. Just can't get enough moose pictures so keep them coming. Thanks for sharing.
