The Loaf

3rd highest mountain in Maine. Located in Franklin Country, Maine. Located on the North side of the mountain. When I went here not too long ago the few of the summit was untouchable. It's a good hike yet a beautiful scenery all the way around. When I got to the top I
felt nothing but peacefulness. It was one of my best hikes, felt accomplished yet replenished. Something hit me that I never felt before. All I have to say Sugarloaf is one heck of a place. Here is one picture I took while I was near the top. After my hike I was curious what Sugarloaf had to offer online. As I found them via Facebook and Twitter. Their online website has some pretty interesting tops. Going through I came across videos that have been made either by the faculty or Sugarloafers themselves. Here is a little preview!


Go and try some Spring Skiing!

Somedaybigger



Sunday River is the mountain I was born and raised on. My family and myself have been going there since I was a little girl. It's 3,335 ft. which is located in Oxford Country, Maine. The views from the top are glorious, you can see mountains forever. Having eight mountain peaks with 132 trails and 671 acres of skiing and ridding. While I was there this two Falls ago it was the 11th Annual North American Wife Carrying Championships. I snapped a few pictures through out the day, one of a husband and wife, one of Sunday River as a whole, and a sneak peak of the new "Chondola" going up the upcoming winter. Which is one part chairlift and one part gondola, all parts party in the sky.


Not only is Sunday River big on their slops, trails and celebrations but also online. They have expanded not only on their trails but globally. Going online, and being able to check out the conditions, see the latest event or activity right at your fingertips.

"The Greatest Mountain"


Mount Katahdin; Baxter Peak.

Mount Katahdin is the highest mountain in Maine, at 5,268 feet. Named by the Penobscot Indians, the term means "The Greatest Mountain". Here is a picture of two of my good friends from home at the top of Katahdin. As you can see the weather is perfect, I remember the day like it was yesterday. It wasn't the easiest hike, but it was so beautiful. Blueberry skies for days and days, not too cold but just enough sun to get you through. Once we got to the top I couldn't help but smile. The accomplishment of hiking the tallest mountain Maine, just makes me feel that more appreciative for Maine. Go Maine!
