My wife and I are standing halfway up Maine’s tallest peak, named Katahdin, which means “The Greatest Mountain,” by the Penobscot people long ago….We are hiking with a group of at least 20, most of whom are climbing the final stretch of their 2,200-mile trek from Georgia to Maine….Around us [at the summit] is a 360-degree view of Baxter State Park, perhaps the crown jewel of Maine’s North Woods.
