Mahoosuc Notch is a deep gap in the Mahoosuc Range of western Maine traversed by the Appalachian Trail. 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 ten-foot drops and places where packs must be removed to squeeze beneath a boulder.Many thru-hikers call this stretch one of the slowest on the 2179-mile (3507 km) trail.
