Great hike overall! Lower part was mostly a steady climb with good footing. Upper part was ledgy with some minor scrambling and many viewpoints. Summit was bald with a 360 view. There is a new loop to the other Puzzle summit, which we chose not to do, but may in the future. Warning: try to remember where you do the final summit push. There is no blazing and cairns leading in different directions. We started in the wrong direction, but saw other summit and backtracked. Note to webnaster: put this on your Maine bucket list! |
