South Crocker is one of the easier 4,000 foot mountains in Maine to climb. Follow the Appalachian Trail for about 2 miles and you will reach the summit. The downside is that there are very few views along the way or at the top.  Most of the first mile is relatively flat, but soon gets steep and rocky.  Luckily, the view towards Mt. Avery & Bigelow and Sugarloaf took our minds off of the tough climb we were facing. Eventually, it leveled off again for the rest of the way to the summit.

Before we knew it we reached the top of South Crocker.  We soon discovered that the sign along the trail is not actually the true summit, but lets you know it is only a short distance away. Finally arriving at the real peak we had some limited views of Sugarloaf, Spaulding and Mt. Redington. 

While taking a break at the summit, we noticed a heard path heading towards Mt. Redington. Being the curious type, we headed down the path a short distance to see what was there. What we found was lots and lots of moose poo.  Neither of us have ever seen so much in one place! After a quick break we were on our way to North Crocker.
