Mount Katahdin Backpacking Trips

At 5,271 feet, Mount Katahdin is the highest peak in Maine. It stands as the northern most terminus of the Appalachian Trail and by some accounts is the last true wilderness on the East Coast. It is located in beautiful Baxter State Park and traversed by remote hiking trails and amazing wildlife. It is a strenuous hike, but the view at the top is worth every step of the trip.

Let Higher Pursuits plan, arrange and guide a customized backpacking trip for your group to the unforgettable Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine.
