Join MYA on an epic trip to Baxter State Park to take in beautiful views via hiking & paddling. Adventurers will enjoy Sentinel Mountain with Katahdin in the distance, a paddle on the pond, and a sweet journey to Little & Big Niagara Falls. We’ll get in plenty of yoga along the way as well as a delicious vegetarian picnic.
Beginning at Kidney Pond we’ll make our way onto the trailhead to the 1,863-foot Sentinel Mountain for a total of 6.2 miles round trip. The views are lovely as we start off flat and wind our way along the pond. Then it is into the forest we go and over bog bridges, the mysterious and mossy zone. The summit is a bit steeper climb but we’ll have an easy loop around the top. Looking in every direction is astounding!
The picnic comes next beside the water with lots of yumminess, time to relax and soak in the surrounding majesty. Afterwards, adventurers will pop into canoes and take a paddle around the pond. There’s a magical stream we can float in to and simply delight in every moment and every vista.
Just a bit over a 10 min drive away is a quick jaunt to the falls, little & big niagaras. Again, the views are glorious!!! If the weather is nice, perhaps we can take a little dip; we’ll definitely get in yoga on the rocks. Adventurers can take explore, breath, and meditate, savoring a shared gratitude for Baxter State Park.
