We knew it is 10Miles round trip and we knew it will take 10 hours but we had no idea that we will be hiking on a rocky surface most of the way and some time on our knees and butt most of the time feeling like a mountain goats.
Here is a Model of the Baxter Mountain with the highest peak (on the left) of 5267 Feet,we started the hike at 830AM at the bottom where you can leave your vehicle ,took the Chimney Pond Trail and then the Saddle Trail (2nd from the right) that brought us up to the ridge but still had to hike left to the peak.
THE WAY UP ON THE SADDLE TRAIL
THE SADDLE TRAIL ON THE LEFT
It took us 7 hours to get to the top ,it was difficult but very rewarding,here are some pictures from the way up and the summit.
And 5 hours to get down-why?? here take a look
AT THE END OF THE DAY WE WERE TIRED ,SORE BUT HAPPY WE DID IT…
