Mahoosuc Notch is a deep gap in the Mahoosuc Range of western Maine in the United States. It is traversed by the Appalachian Trail.
Description The boulders on this mile-long section of trail present obstacles that must be climbed over and sometimes under, creating a unique hiking experience. There are occasional drops, and places where packs must be removed to squeeze beneath a boulder.
Many hikers call this stretch one of the slowest on the approximately Appalachian Trail. This so-called "killer mile" or the "Toughest Mile" is a section that can cause hikers to slow down.
