The Maine Appalachian Trail Club, working with Maine A.T. Land Trust and Appalachian Trail Conservancy, will begin constructing a trail up the eastern flank of Saddleback Mountain beginning this summer.  The trail will open up the possibility of a loop hike to Saddleback by using the Fly Rod Crosby Trail and the Appalachian Trail.  We will be posting further updates during the course of the summer.  The forest is very thick until the trail reaches the open ledges on the ridge, so MATC and their hardy crew will have their hands full clearing this trail.
