Winter Backpacking on Maine's Appalachian Trail
Join Ryan and Adam as they take on a rugged 14-mile stretch of Maine’s Appalachian Trail, from South Arm Road in Andover to Route 17 at the iconic Height of Land in Oquossoc. With approximately 5,000 feet of total elevation gain, this trek showcases the challenges of early-season hiking in New England.

    Thank you. Some unexpected challenges, they make it more exciting. I have taken plastic bags to put over boots, and even have taken off boots and waded. Yes, that's cold but better than the peril of wet boots and feet in bad cold conditions, which would take time to stop and dry out.

      @@me-ev3kz great tip! A trash bag on each leg would be useful and effective for stream crossings I’d imagine 🙂
