Nice hike, Alex. Beautiful area. Those fires have been bad. Glad they are letting up some. Nice virtual tent! Haha. That boardwalk section on the side of the cliff was awesome!!! Glad you didn't crap yourself with the trail workers. Haha. Holy stairs! Wow, quite the workout. Awesome views from the top. This trail had a bit of everything. Loved it! Have a great day.
Indeed, even here in Nova Scotia, the fires have been brutal...came within 5 km of my place, so had the bags packed and Otis ready just incase. Such a great area...love the walkway on the rock wall...and a stairway to heaven...pretty cool. Take good care and have a great weekend! Bruce and Otis
Love the boardwalks especially the one around the rock. Another place that reminds me of Grandfather with the ladders and the views from up top. Great video Alex!
Honestly those peaks and landscape surprised us when we are watching this....in a GREAT way! Not to say we didn't know they were that beautiful....but those mixed with the dense forest, love it!!
Challenging stairs for sure- and quite a bit of Mud! I liked all the boulders in the creek, and wow, that boardwalk around the rock face at lake was Insane! Good that you just saw deer and not a family of bears... beautiful scenery from the top!! Nice one Alex!! :)
Thanks ! Yea, avalanche pass boardwalk is very famous in the adk. Stunning views. Was a long and difficult hike but awesome at the same time. Take care 😊
Oh man that's absolutely gorgeous ❤ from the forest to the lake and boardwalk and the mountains. I believe that you almost had a stroke when you heard the stomping 😂. Great hike ❤
No joke my 8th grade health class did this hike and the health teacher took off whizzing Miles ahead. Said "follow the signs" to 30 13 year Olds. This was the 1980s. Most turned around for the bus at the Loj but a few of us forged ahead.
Hi there, we are planning to hike this trail with our dog this long weekend. Based on some reviews I read from AllTrail, it seems that the climb is steep and a lot of rock scramble (section called Trap Dike?). Do you think dog (~70lb golden) can hike the climbing part? Thank you.
It is very steep and rocky. Some dogs can do it but at this moment it's also possible to find some ice and wet surfaces. I didn't hike this way I did it via avalanche pass (it's pretty much the same length) "colden via avalanche pass" AllTrails. Which is still not easy but less risky. There are always safer ways .. Trap dyke is known to be hard, Not as hard but close to Saddleback cliffs

Thanks a lot. Was hard but so much fun. The avalanche pass is known to be one of the best trais in the area. Was super fun. Take care 😊
Great to see the deer too.
Yea...a cutie 😊

I was impress the wooden path, is it slippery when wet? Gorgeous hinke in the forest. Nice camping ground .
Thanks a lot... Yes, it can be but you have guard rail just in case. The rocks and stairs are more slippery when wet.
