My husband and I traveled to Maine in May for a canoeing trip on the St. John River. It was a magnificent adventure, and we were so glad that we could go! The St. John River is located in northern Maine and flows north towards Canada. The river is very isolated and beautiful, heavily forested with fir and birch trees.
From the river, we had an impressive view of Mt. Katahdin, which is the highest point in the whole state of Maine. It is also the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail peaking a mile above sea level. Its summit is often obscured by clouds.
