A Journey on the Appalachian Trail through the White Mtns of NH & SW Maine
·OnlineOnlineOnline only. See below to obtain link.
Join Pat as he recounts his 186.3-mile hike on the Appalachian Trail through the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Southwestern Maine. Experience breathtaking views from peaks like Mount Washington, known as the “Home of the World’s Worst Weather,” and navigate the unique challenges of these stunning mountain ranges. Witness diverse landscapes and the thrill of the Appalachian Trail as it winds through this beautiful region. The journey included 20 of the 4000-footers and is considered the hardest section of the Appalachian Trail. Along the way, Pat encountered wildlife, visited numerous hostels and huts, and faced the notorious Mahoosuc Notch, often referred to as the most difficult mile of the Appalachian Trail. This hike is a testament to the resilience and beauty of the northeastern United States.
