The Owl stands at 3,670 feet, just west of Mt. Katahdin. It is often overlooked due to its proximity to the famous mountain, but it shouldn't be! It is a fantastic, challenging, somewhat scramble-y day hike with truly amazing views of Katahdin and the surrounding area from the summit. At, and leading up to, the summit, there are unique rock formations that are fun to explore too.
