Why it works

Mahoosuc Notch is widely considered the most difficult mile on the entire Appalachian Trail — a boulder-choked slot canyon requiring careful navigation and often taking hours to traverse. The surrounding Mahoosuc Range's rugged terrain and the western Maine lakes region require accurate topographic mapping for safe navigation. Waterproof construction survives Maine's frequent rain and the wet conditions common throughout the Mahoosuc Range.

Ideal for

AT thru-hikers, section hikers, and backpackers navigating the Mahoosuc Range and western Maine section of the Appalachian Trail. See also NGTI1511 (AT New Hampshire) for the adjacent section to the south and NGTI1513 (AT Maine, Pleasant Pond to Katahdin) for coverage to the north.
