On Saturday while doing an out and back day hike of the "toughest mile" on the AT, the Mahoosuc Notch, my gf and I started wondering what the second toughest mile on the trail is.
A few days earlier we'd hiked up Mount Moosilauke from the north side and both agreed the stretch of trail with the steps would definitely be up there on the list.
So, what do you think is the "second toughest mile" on the AT?
By the way, on our return trip back through the Notch Saturday we completed it in 45 minutes. I bested my old time of 1:05 (which was with a full pack). Had a blast!
