  • Join us while we hike Maine's 100 Mile Wilderness end to end. The 100 Mile Wilderness is a section of the Appalachian Trail designated as the longest section without crossing a paved road. It is not quite 100 miles and goes from Abol Bridge just outside Baxter State Park to 3 miles outside Monson, ME.

    Hey, thanks for the shout out. All of your ups were our downs. Fun to see it that way from the other side. Awesome treat to see Phil at the end, that's where we started our trek and where you ended! We did the food dropbox from Phil so that we didn't need to carry 10 days with us..... and also, Phil bailed two of our group out at Katahdin Ironworks Road.
    This is great inspiration to finish my 100 mile NOBO edit, thank you!

    Thanks for sharing this, was fun to revisit that section, particularly Whitecap. I did a NOBO thru-hike and considering that was the last mountain till Katahdin after 2,100+ miles, it was a pretty emotional view.
    You take for granted how fit you get, I worked through the 100 mile wilderness in five days, averaging 21.08 miles per day. I can see how rough that would have been starting with that on a SOBO now!

    • @GuideYouOutdoors
      @GuideYouOutdoors  4 года назад +2

      It is a super difficult trip for any dog. The rocks hurt his feet and he was licking his paws a lot. I I carried his pack 6 out of the 10 days to relieve him somewhat. Mushers wax seemed to keep the black flies off his exposed skin for the most part.
