This is a photo from the Abol Bridge on the Golden Road in the North Woods of Maine. The North Woods is a region of heavily forested land that is nearly twice the size of Massachusetts at 12 million acres. Millinocket is a small town on the edge of the North Woods and is where serious hikers who have hiked north on the grueling 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail come to end their hike. The actual terminus of the hike, Mount Katahdin, is pictured here. This view shows the Penobscot River with Mount Katahdin in the background. The mountain was named by the Penobscot Indians and means “The Greatest Mountain”.
