" According to Jackson, who, in his capacity of geological surveyor of the State, has accurately measured it, — the altitude of Ktaadn is 5,300 feet,(9) or a little more than one mile above the level of the sea, — and he adds, "It is then evidently the highest point in the State of Maine, and is the most abrupt granite mountain in New England." The peculiarities of that spacious table-land on which I was standing, as well as the remarkable semi-circular precipice or basin on the eastern side, were all concealed by the mist. I had brought my whole pack to the top, not knowing but I should have to make my descent to the river, and possibly to the settled portion of the State alone, and by some other route, and wishing to have a complete outfit with me. But at length, fearing that my companions would be anxious to reach the river before night, and knowing that the clouds might rest on the mountain for days, I was compelled to descend. Occasionally, as I came down, the wind would blow me a vista open, through which I could see the country eastward, boundless forests, and lakes, and streams, gleaming in the sun, some of them emptying into the East Branch. There were also new mountains in sight in that direction. Now and then some small bird of the sparrow family would flit away before me, unable to command its course, like a fragment of the gray rock blown off by the wind. " Henry Thoreau
Good Morning,
I teach a Yearbook class, here in Renovo, at Bucktail High School. I was wondering if we could use this photo in our book? Also, would it be possible to get the original photo, if possible? If not we can just use this one online.
Thanks Again,

Yes very possible to ride a Mtn bike to this location. Would be a long walk because it is around 25 miles one way. Just go to the Jim Creek access area and follow the trails to the east towards the Glacier. Stay on the north side of Knick River. Crossing Jim Creek could be interested, just pick a shallow spot and wade across.
