The Mount Katahdin summit sign in Maine

A photo story

Mount Katahdin, Maine

Mount Katahdin is the high point of Maine, and I stood at the summit sign in August 2025. It was my 33rd state high point. I went up the Cathedral Trail. It was in the upper 50s under a cloudy sky, with a breeze around 12 miles an hour.

Katahdin is also the northern end of the Appalachian Trail, and the mountain has a few serious routes to the top. I went up Cathedral and came down the Knife Edge.
