We got on the trail around 7:00 a.m. heading for Andover, Maine today. We had an eight mile hike to get into town. As soon asked we started we had to hike up baldpate peak. It was a steep incline first thing in the morning but it wasn’t too bad. Once we were on top we had to walk over to Baldpate east and walk down. The terrain was huge flat rocks. It was a pretty cool hike. We were thankful it wasn't wet or raining because that would've been extra slippery and probably a little dangerous.
My favorite part of the day was the waterfall. The trail goes right by Upper Dunn Falls and you get a nice view of the waterfall right next to the trail.
Our original plan was to go camp out behind a restaurant in Andover because they offered showers and laundry. It's Sunday though and the restaurant closed early so we decided to go to the hostel in town. We called and they came to pick us up from the road so we didn't have to worry about hitch hiking.
