What an honor it is to have a Maine mountain rank on a National Geographic "top list." But it's awesome and somewhat shocking how high this mountain did rank!
I think every Mainer should have to climb Katahdin at least once in their lifetime! It isn't easy, but so worth it! This video gives you a taste of what it's like to hike Maine's highest mountain, without the burning leg muscles.
Work, hike and live in some of the wildest places left in the Eastern U.S. focusing on rebuilding and restoring heavily impacted sections of the trail.
