The Final Days! – Appalachian Trail 2025 Day 163 – Maine

12AUG2025
Appalachian Trail thru hike Day 163 (*170)

22.2 mile day to Hurd Brook Lean-to. The terrain supported an extra long day for us to be in good position to enter Baxter State Park (prison). There were a number of beautiful pond views as well as views of Katahdin from multiple sites. Definitely have the feels as this journey comes to a close. It’s still hot - tracking a nice weather window to summit.

End: Mile 2179.9 Hurd Brook Lean-to
AT Miles Hiked: 22.2
Total Miles Hiked: 2401.1
