Beautiful View

This spot is right next to a beautiful view on the side of Kittany Mountain and just off the Appalachian trail. There is 4 spots to set up at all of which have a spot for a fire. Three of them are a little more secluded and in the woods while the fourth one it's out in the open where the view off the side of the mountain is, you may have some people stopping by to look at the view. You can park on the side of Bangor mountain road where the app trail crossed the road, and then walk down kittany road (private road) all the way to the end where it turns into dirt. On the right you'll have the kirkrige shelter and on the left you'll have two spots in the woods to set up, walk a little further down and you'll see the view and on your left will be another spot to set up.
