See the sights with me.

Finally in the home stretch. Into the 100-Mile Wilderness!

Presented without comment.

Maine has some excellent views.

I can't tell you how much blood, sweat, and tears have gone into these milestones. It's been a very, very rough day, but we're getting there. Only 282 miles left!

Some rather windy conditions on top of Mount Washington today. But it takes more than a bit of wind to knock me down 😁

To give you a sense of the scale out here: look at the buildings in the first picture - that's a ski resort. Now find the buildings in the next few photos.

The Whites have started on a very challenging note. But, I've been rewarded with beautiful sights. Today's views include southern Kinsman, Lonesome Lake, and Mount Liberty - perhaps my favorite view so far.

Sunset and sunrise from Smarts Mountain fire tower. It's gonna be a good day.

Goodbye, Vermont. Thanks for the sunny days. Headed into New Hampshire, home of the White Mountains - and the World's Worst Weather (looking at you, Mount Washington). Here we go!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

Vermont continues to impress, this time with views from Killington, the second highest mountain in the state. Also - less than 500 miles to Katahdin!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

I'd like to thank Vermont for the warm welcome - what gorgeous vistas I've already seen. I'd also like to thank Vermont for showing me more eastern newts - I haven't seen them since about New Jersey, and I've missed them.

The highest point in Massachusetts - Mount Greylock. This point is also notable for being the first summit over 3000' above sea level since the Shenandoahs in Virginia. Time to get back into the tall mountains.

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

Massachusetts has had a phenomenal start - step up your game, other states!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

So many milestones, so little time. New York into Connecticut, 1500 miles completed, and Connecticut into Massachusetts. Progress! 😁

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

Hikers in NYC. Thanks for the fun visit, New York!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

New York, New York. What a treat it has been to be in this state. The climbs are tough, but the reward is immense. Harriman State Park is an absolute must-see, and Bear Mountain is the beautiful home of the first stretch of Appalachian Trail ever built.

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

Lots of adventures since I got to New Jersey. A shelter with a donkey, the High Point monument, and camping at a drive in. Yes, we watched a movie - Lightyear!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

After a few days spent waiting for new shoes in Delaware Water Gap, I have finally left Pennsylvania and gone into New Jersey. 1300 miles down, less than 900 to go!

[Twix #1156 @LiamHikes]

100 gorgeous days on trail.
