This is an epic trail that leads up from Abol Campground to the Hunt Trail and Katahdin. It is technically the shortest route up Katahdin at 3.4 miles, but the terrain is very steep and involves a lot of scrambling. There are steps cut in at the bottom of the trail. This is a highly rewarding trail, but extremely difficult to run. Great place to practice your power hiking skills!
