This day hike would be great near sunset thanks to the view to the west from Springer except walking back to the car would be difficult because of the rocks and tree roots

4/9/05; alone. Rocky and soggy up to beginning of AT. Awesome up there; went a mile or two north on AT; beautiful stretch, then looped around on way back to McKaye trail -it too was great. Much longer on road to parking lot than expected.

the directions are poor. i couldn't find the trail. i recommend trying to find this trail via some other site, because these directions are short of reliable to say the least.

My kids and I did almost all of the Maine AT in 1987. This summer I got to the top of Springer Mountain, from a base in the parking area, but it was a great triumph, because this time, I have a prosthetic leg. What a thrill to make it to the top, and then have the old "AT" experience of a good thunderstorm to make you appreciate a set of dry clothes at the car. And there were no mosqitos!
