Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument (KAWW) encompasses natural beauty and rich history within its 87,500 acres, most of which lies between the Penobscot River’s East Branch and Baxter State Park. And wintertime, buried under a thick blanket of snowy white, may well be the best time to visit this primitive wildland. For info on planning your own KAWW winter adventure, trail conditions and a map of the cross-country ski trails, visit nps.gov/kaww. A call to the park office at 456-6001 is a good idea, too. Reservations for Haskell Hut are required and can be made through recreation.gov. ~ Carey Kish
