These three 4,000 footers in Maine are part of the NE67 hiking list. Crocker and South Crocker are along the Appalachian Trail and Mount Redington offers the only “bushwhack” for a 4,000 footer in New England, though it’s an easy herd path to follow.
We have now hiked Mt. Jackson four times, once in each season. Since completing the NH48, we’ve set a challenging goal of hiking all the 48 in Winter and a follow up goal of hiking all of the 48 in all 4 seasons.
On our winter traverse of the Wildcats and Carters, we were treated with low winds, a bluebird day, and views for miles of the Presidential Range across Pinkham Notch.

As we approached Mt. Liberty, we couldn’t contain our excitement as we caught glimpses of an incredible undercast stretching across the horizon.
We took Glen Boulder Trail to Davis Path, which provides extended views above treeline of the Presidential Range, for our second time summiting Mt. Isolation.
