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 {{convert|10|ft|adj=on}} drops, and places where packs must be removed to squeeze beneath a boulder.

Many hikers call this stretch one of the slowest on the {{convert|2179|mi|km|adj=on}} trail. This so-called "killer mile" or the "Toughest Mile"[1] is a very tough section that can cause even the most experienced hikers to slow down.[2]
