“The Katahdin 360 is a 100+mile bikepacking route through the heart of Maine’s Katahdin region that includes something for everyone: incredible views, remote forests, dreamy gravel, decrepit logging roads, discouraging blowdowns, and some bushwhacking to boot!”…
That’s the description of this route on Bikepacking.com and it’s all true. This is a trip I’ve wanted to do for a few years but I’ve been concerned about the navigation. Last week I had the opportunity to ride a slightly longer variation of this loop with a friend who has done it many times. These photos show the dreamy parts through Baxter State Park and Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. I didn’t have the energy to capture the sufferfest sections…. It was all worth it, though. Such a beautiful trip!
