The re-route eliminates a dangerous and dusty .8 mile road walk and returns the AT to its original route between Daicey Pond and Katahdin Stream Campground. Just north of Daicey Pond the AT will now follow the newly reconstructed Grassy Pond trail. Hikers will have outstanding views of Katahdin and might spot an old metal AT diamond trail marker or two behind Grassy Pond before following and crossing Katahdin Stream on some extensive bog bridging. The re-route exits the woods directly across the tote road from Katahdin Stream Campground. As of 5/19 the white blazes along the tote road have been painted blue, and the Grassy Pond trail blue blazes have been painted white - the signage is in the works and should be up shortly.
