Mount Katahdin

I’ve hiked many higher, but not many tougher than this one. Be prepared for some scrambling! Beautiful views, challenging, great surrounding area. One of my favorite hikes.

This is the end of the appellation trail, and the view is the greatest gift a hiker can get at the end of a 4 month journey.

I have climbed Mt Katahdin twice. Make sure you dress for any condition. Last time we climbed, it was warm at the bottom and windy and cold at the top, in the middle of August. For a roundtrip climb, hike in through Chimney Pond (there are several ways to get there) and either go up Cathedral trail or across Knife’s Edge or vice versa. It’s a beautiful climb. On a clear day you can see all the way to the Atlantic and Mt Washington.

I got married on the summit!

It’s the most memorable hike I have ever taken. If you’re lucky with the weather, then there’s nothing to beat it!
