Hiking Old Speck Mountain, near Newry Maine. Eyebrow trail and Fire tower included!

Here is my recent hike to the summit of Old Speck! This is one of my favorite hikes in Maine! The Eye Brow trail and climb on the Fire tower are some great highlights to the trek. If you’re interested to see this trail for yourself check it out on AllTrails!!

I have hiked and climbed many of the trails and peaks covered in your videos over 50 years ago. Thank you for reminding me of the pleasure I had doing it and sharing your joy. I envy your youth and vigor!

[@AmandaDouin]

Aww, I’m glad you enjoy them! It’s amazing that we can enjoy these same trails year after year. 😃

[@IceholeTour]

Awesome hike...on my short list for summiting in 2024. Thanks for sharing and helping me prepare!

[@AmandaDouin]

Awesome! It’s a fun one. Enjoy!! And glad the video was helpful. ☺️

Thank you for the beautiful video. I recently finished NH 48 and starting Maine 4ks with Old Speck tomorrow! Can't wait. Thank you again:)

[@AmandaDouin]

That’s amazing! Good job! Ooh I Love Old Speck! Have fun! Are you going up eyebrow down AT? If it’s wet the AT section is VERY slick with tons of mossy rocks 😅.. Have fun!!!

The trails in the northeast are full of rocks and roots, rocks and roots. I've found easier trails out west. Nice job. I like the shot of the shroom, nice touch. ☀️⛰️⛰️🌅

[@AmandaDouin]

Nice!! Thanks for watching!!

Nice video. hiking and living in Juneau Alaska but planning to relocate and hike in Maine soon. I'll add this to the trail list!

[@AmandaDouin]

Oh awesome! I’m from Wa state and never visited Alaska so I’m a little mad at myself for that… but Grafton Notch State Park has some beautiful trails for sure! ☺️

[@RhodySeth]

Climbing that fire tower freaked me out. No like. I'd love to go back there but man it's a drive from southern states.

[@AmandaDouin]

Yeah - it shakes me a little but gets easier every time 😬 Yeah my limit is 3 hrs one way driving for a day hike, the driving hurts more than the hike lol

[@steveboivin9038]

Thanks for the video- Grafton Notch is the best!

Hi Amanda, beautiful video! I love the tunes and views, the rock surfaces, woods, and you... You're cute. This is near the lithium discovery, 2.5 more concentrated than any other lithium on Earth, (Lunar lithium!) I know it's difficult to believe, but then, so it the mile thick glacier theory...

[@TrailSprite]

Your video looks great! What frame rate did you film in?

[@AmandaDouin]

Thank you! Oh my goodness I don’t know for sure… This was before I got my GoPro, so I filmed it on an IPhone 12 Pro with a Zhiyun Gimbal. Thanks for watching!

[@TrailSprite]

I see. My last video was filmed on a gopro also and in 4k at 30fps so it must be the 1080p export I'm uploading giving me grief. My videos are getting progressively better but I guess their going to plateau soon if I don't start exporting them in 4k!

[@TrailSprite]

Enjoyable videos, Looking forward to seeing more of them!

[@AmandaDouin]

@TrailSprite Yeah the export and upload to KZbin is tricky! I’ve been using IMovie and that has a limit on exporting quality.. so I’ve hit the plateau unless I start using a better editing software. It’s a full time job figuring this stuff out! Thanks again!!!

[@TrailSprite]

@@AmandaDouin Yes I've lost lots of sleep in research. I edit in Davinci Resolve , It's awesome but I can only export in 1080p till I purchase the pro version. It's reasonably priced, I'm just unreasonably poor :p
