Mile 1934 - Andover, ME To Mile 1940 - Hall Mountain Shelter We can see a dramatic difference in the amount of color in the leaves just since two days ago. It is wonderful to be watching the transformation of the forrest all around us day by day. Back on the trail Fall We lingered … Continue reading Day 50. Fall

Mile 1934 - Andover, ME We are excited to have a day off in town with Brenda who drove down from Montreal for the weekend. Our time today was filled with delicious town food, board games, and picking up packages of gear that were waiting for us here. We are starting to see red and … Continue reading Day 49. Andover

Mile 1923 - Stealth To Mile 1934 - Andover, ME As we get farther from New Hampshire, we are starting to encounter sections of the trail that are actual trail. We haven't seen much of this in several weeks as we have been on relatively rough terrain. With this comes the ability to move faster … Continue reading Day 48. Rediscovering the Trail

Mile 1915 - Full Goose Shelter To Mile 1923 - Stealth We had perhaps the most difficult (and fun) mile of the trail to start the day. The Mahoosuc Notch is not really a trail. It is more of a giant boulder heap lodged between two cliffs. It requires significant climbing over, and sometimes under … Continue reading Day 47. Mahoosuc Notch

Mile 1885 - Imp Shelter To Mile 1892 - Rattle River Hostel This afternoon we walked into Rattle River Hostel which is right on the trail.

Mile 1872 - Pinkham Notch To Mile 1885 - Imp Shelter We ate breakfast at the lodge this morning and bought a few supplies at the little store there to get us through to our next resupply.

Mile 1864 - Madison Spring Hut To Mile 1872 - Pinkham Notch Because we were still above treeline when we stopped yesterday we had over 2700 feet still to go down to get to our planned stopping point today. We feasted on breakfast leftovers at the hut and took our time leaving because is was … Continue reading Day 42. Down to Pinkham Notch

Mile 1852 - Nauman To Mile 1864 - Madison Spring Hut At 6289 feet, Mt. Washington is the highest peak in the Northeast and the second highest on the AT.
