The Greatest Mountain
Posted on June 25th, 2010 by sarah_hassell
Under clear (finally!) skies and a big moon, the team hit the trail to summit Katahdin, the highest point in Maine, via the Abol Direct at about 4:00 am today. The ascent was quick and unusual only for the fact that there was actually some sun.
Katahdin, which means “the Greatest Mountain,” is at the northern terminus of the Applachian Trail. This is peak number 35 for the team and the last mountain peak high point east of the Mississippi.
