Section 11, Ticonderoga, NY to Bar Harbor, ME, 440 Miles
This section traverses four states, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The section begins at Fort Ticonderoga where there is an opportunity to take in some Revolutionary War history. There is always potential for wind and rain in the Mount Washington area. The White Mountains in New Hampshire present climbing challenges. Nearing the end of the tour now, the climbing should feel celebratory. Another Revolutionary War historical site worth visiting is Fort Knox. Fort Know is noted for its exceptional preservation. The Vermont Green Mountains were once some of the tallest mountains in North America. Today they reach heights of 5,000 feet, in their youth they reached 12,000 feet. Logging has a long and storied history in New England and is still important to this day.
