I am planning a multi-day trip to Baxter State Park in late September/early October and would like some feedback on an itinerary.

Day 1

• Start early from Katahdin Stream campground. Ascend Hunt Trail to Baxter Peak.
• Continue north toward Russell Pond on either the North Peaks or Northwest Basin Trail.
• Spend the night at Russell Pond.

Day 2

• Head west to Nesowadnehunk Field campground along the Wassataquoik Lake trail.
• Spend the night at Nesowadnehunk Field.

Day 3

• Head south to Katahdin Stream campground via Double Top mountain trail.
• After Doubletop Mountain, continue on TBD path. Looks like there are options for either trails or road walking starting at Foster Field.

I have not found much information about either the North Peaks trail or the Northwest Basin Trail. Much older information (circa 2012) talks about temporary trail closures followed by reopening.

Any insights and feedback appreciated.
