Mount Katahdin (USGS name) is the highest mountain in Maine at 5,268 feet (1,606 m). Named Katahdin by the Penobscot Indians, the term means "The Greatest Mountain". Katahdin is the centerpiece of Baxter State Park: a steep, tall mountain formed from underground magma. The flora and fauna on the mountain are typical of those found in northern New England.
Katahdin is one of the most spectacular scenic hike that I did with my husband, Geochum, when we climbed the 115-4000fters in 2010-2011.
If you go up on a clear nice day, you have a 360 degrees view all around the mountain. You can see the other mountains, the lakes and the valleys.
