Love this pic.
Not totally sure. I will get the details when she gets back to civilization. Right now she’s in the mountains with spotty service and her phone on airplane mode.@Ripitz: across what time frame will your sister complete the NE67? I always wondered how long it takes mere mortals (as opposed to your sister!) to hike Katahdin.
I hiked with her on her first 4k when we did Mt. Washington on her 30th birthday in 1999.@Ripitz: across what time frame will your sister complete the NE67?
Hiking Katahdin takes a bit of planning. Millinocket is the closest town and the park gate doesn’t open until 6am. The roads are gravel with a 20mph speed limit so it’s slow going. You also need a parking pass, secured in advance. This all makes for a late start, not good for an 8-12 hour hike with 4,000ft of elevation gain and much of it above tree line.I always wondered how long it takes mere mortals (as opposed to your sister!) to hike Katahdin.
