On June 30, 2009, intrepid hikers from across the region will gather to conquer the six highest peaks in New England: Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Mount Katahdin in Maine, Mount Mansfield in Vermont, Mount Marcy in New York, Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, and Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire.

A Journey of Discovery

The Six Capitol Challenge is not just a hiking expedition; it is a journey of discovery. As you ascend each majestic peak, you will witness the breathtaking beauty and diversity of New England. From the rugged granite cliffs of Mount Washington to the lush forests of Mount Katahdin, each mountain offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Along the way, you will encounter fellow hikers from all walks of life, sharing stories and supporting each other through the challenges and triumphs of the journey. The camaraderie and spirit of adventure will create an unbreakable bond among you all.

The Challenge of a Lifetime

The Six Capitol Challenge is not for the faint of heart. It is a demanding physical and mental test that will push you to your limits. The trails are steep and unforgiving, the weather can be unpredictable, and the altitude can take its toll. But with determination and perseverance, you will overcome each obstacle and emerge stronger than ever before.

The challenge is not only about reaching the summit of each mountain; it is about the journey itself. The memories you make, the friendships you forge, and the lessons you learn will stay with you long after the hike is over.

Prepare for the Adventure

If you are ready to take on the Six Capitol Challenge, it is essential to prepare both physically and mentally. Start training several months in advance to build your endurance and strength. Practice hiking with weight on your back to simulate the challenge of carrying gear and supplies.

Make sure you have the proper gear, including sturdy hiking boots, a comfortable backpack, plenty of water and snacks, and rain gear. Study the maps and weather forecasts carefully before setting out, and always let someone know your itinerary and expected return time.
