Last section of AT constructed here in 1937

 Hiking on the original section of the AT, after two days of warmth (38 degrees outside) we left Sugarloaf Mt and got to Saddleback Mt. 

Part of this section was the last trail blazed in 1937 completing the 2,000 mile AT.

The 1989 USGS (1:24,000) map shows the new trail crossing the valley and rejoining original AT along ridge north of Spaulding MT

But recall in 1974, the MATC relocated some of the trail to the west to steer clear of the ski resort development found north of Sugarloaf.  But I suspect some the the original 1937 trail is still in use.

Much of this text is from my memory since my AT books are packed, but earlier maps do not show the trail.

Oh yeah, stayed in Fire Warden's Cabin on top of Saddleback and captured this sunset of Rangeley Lake
