100-Mile Wilderness - 7 days / 6 nights
This trip along the Appalachian Trail starts in Monson, ME and finishes at Baxter State Park. If you’re going to tackle this backpacking trip, you will need to be comfortable carrying 9-12 days of food and gear, sleeping trailside in one of the many campsites or lean-to’s, and committing to completion as there are fewer than a dozen road crossings along the full trail. This is a true wilderness adventure which is only matched by some of the vast wilderness areas out west. If the self-supported thru hike sounds a bit too aggressive, we do offer section hikes with a shuttle service, or gear/food drops along the way if you want to pack a lighter load. The flexibility of this hike and the many options for completing it make this one of our most diverse offerings that you could come back to year after year.
