Description

Maine's 100 Mile Wilderness is one of the most famous sections of the Appalachian Trail - a 97-mile stretch and the longest section on the AT without a paved road crossing or a town. This guide will include more than forty hikes, capturing the best of the great wilderness. Discover the highest waterfall on the entire Appalachian Trail, remote mountains like Wadleigh, and one of the largest springs in New England. Look inside to find detailed maps, hike descriptions, mile-by-mile directional cues, and much more.
