Join Register Maine Guide Chris Toy for his annual hiking and camping trip to Baxter State Park, Chimney Pond, and Katahdin July 17-19. Although there will be two levels of activity for this trip everyone will be expected to be able to hike unassisted while carrying at least a 25 pound backpack for 3 hours while ascending at least 1000 feet.

The two night trip will entail hiking to scenic Chimney Pond and staying overnight in a communal bunkhouse with up to 10 participants. The second day will consist of an optional, more difficult ascent to the summit of Katahdin's Baxter Peak, weather conditions permitting. Those opting not to hike to the summit are free to enjoy the scenery and lower trails around Chimney Pond and the base of the mountains. The group will stay overnight and hike out the morning of the third day.

All meals and lodging in the bunkhouse will be provided. A waiver, supply list, and short interview with Chris will be provided upon registration. Questions can be directed to Chris at christoy.net@gmail.com, or text at 207-653-3163. The fee covers three days and two nights. *There is a $25 cancellation fee is you register and then cancel for whatever reason.

*This is a Family-Friendly program, which means this workshop is open only to adults with minors. To participate in this program, adults need to register themselves and at least one child. An adult can register multiple children (up to 3).

In this special family session, children ages 6+ and their adults will pair up and get hands-on making Needhams, Maine’s iconic potato candy! Learn the story behind this sweet treat, make your own batch with Maine-grown potatoes, and explore creative flavor twists. Everyone leaves with recipes and handmade Needhams to share.
