Katahdin

Mount Katahdin, known as “Greatest Mountain,” represented my first significant climb and, at the time, the most arduous hike I had encountered. This endeavor undoubtedly challenged my limits and initiated my passion for hiking and exploring mountainous terrains. With an elevation gain of approximately 4,000 feet and a one-way distance of 5.2 miles, this hike poses a considerable challenge—especially during the final leg for those traversing the Appalachian Trail northbound.
