Top 5 Places to Spend the Night

1- Moxie Bald. It's relatively flat around this gem of a
mountain with some lower mountains nearby and the
Bigelows off in the distance. Good water source at the
north junction with the bad weather trail. Best sunset
of my entire thru-hike.

2-Pierce Pond Shelter. Set in semi-open pine woods
overlooking Pierce Pond with space for tenting this one
sets you up nicely to make the ferry across the Kennebec
River in the morning.

3-Antlers Campsite. What the hundred mile wilderness
is all about. A short neck of land jutting out into Jo-Mary
Lake with beautiful open woods for tenting.

4-Avery Campsite. Water and temperature issues aside,
the chance to enjoy a sunset or sunrise from either
Bigelow summit is too good to pass up. Easily the
highest (legal) camping spot in Maine.

5-Chairback Gap Shelter. What Antlers is to the lake
section of the hundred mile, Chairback is to the
mountain section. This sets you up for a morning
crossing of the summit ledge.
