16 Miles Over The Bigelows & Back To Hostel of Maine | Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 2023

[@alisondickinson]

I am glad you stopped at the Avery plaque. He was a giant in his dedication to the AT.❤️

[@Devonshire27]

Love your content, but really wanted to thank you for the LMNT code! It has honestly been the only thing that has helped with my chronic headaches/migraines, especially while hiking. Very appreciative that you work with them and pass on the savings to your followers! I haven't packed up the courage to try the lemon habanero or the mango chili yet, but all the other flavors are so good!

[@MichelleStubbings]

Looked like a Weasel crossed your path a 6:41-6:42...its a split second, but you didn't seem to noticed it jump the rocks. Did anyone else catch that? Beautiful hostel!

[@leedanielson7452]

I didn’t see it I’m gonna go back and check!!!😊

[@leedanielson7452]

Holy cow how did you ever see that???? I just went back and watched it three times Otherwise I never would’ve saw L0L

[@Nleary77]

Yea! A Cody / Taylor hike !!! Cant wait

[@JulieJordanScott]

I am glad you got your appetite back and got some TLC at the Hostel of Maine. Hooray! That Myron Avery Peak was amazing. Wow. I imagine it was cold, too, but wow. You are definitely powering through - doing wonderfully! Thank you for bringing us along. So fun to discover that pond.... and revisit a spot you didn't get to see clearly last time. Well done!

[@motorin25]

On my 2019 thru-hike I took a zero there. A great place for that. There is or at least was an little Italian place an easy walk down the road. I hadn't had much pasta on the trail so it was nice to chow down on some spaghetti with meat sauce and appetizer a couple breadsticks, dessert and a glass of wine there.

Next hostel on my list. The Bigelows will always be special because I finished my 67 on them. Congrats on a great day.

[@jantefft2442]

Glad to see you back, be safe and MGBWY❤

[@waynecolburn8849]

I been drinking element for over a year. Need it in the hot warehouse I work in lol gets over 100 degrees in summer. Does taste good . This video had beautiful views. Breathtaking !

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Beautiful views. Thank you.

[@wendygrw]

Beautiful view of the hidden pond! Glad you were able to see far into the distance on that ridge hike and were not socked in.

[@spectrum10]

She can see for miles and miles, just like in the song by The Who. Just sayin'.

[@BigTOutdoorAdventures]

Good decision to slack the Bigelows! I did that too and stayed at the other hostel 2 nights! Both hostels are great! The Bigelows are awesome!

[@leedanielson7452]

That Hostel of Maine is gorgeous!!!! I would like to live there!!!😂❤

[@joansmith8613]

That was pretty hiking scenery today.

[@alaskavanrs8264]

Beautiful shots

[@JackieFarkas]

What a beautiful day. So worth it to stay at that hostel. It looks lovely, I look forward to seeing your videos with Cody as I watched his. Hike on and be safe.

[@meghanjones185]

That was an AWESOME vid. Now I feel like Nahamsha is back with the sun! 🔆 Just a beautiful hiking day.

[@riverbirch7972]

Wow, SOBO for a day...neat area. That above-tree-line habitat near Avery Peak is unbelievably beautiful! I was fortunate to hike that on a day hike from Flagstaff Lake (side trail up to the AT).

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of great beautiful views, nice sunset 😅, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@ElizBRUSA]

Beautiful views! Thanks for sharing with us!🩷🥾⛰️

[@trishhinman2644]

Grew up living near and skiing Sugarloaf. Gorgeous country up there!

[@quirkworks4076]

Great video and a wonderful hike. A reasonable day trip for us (we live 2.5 hours south). We think of the Fire Warden's Trail to Horns Pond Trail lollipop (including Avery) as the "Franconia Ridge Loop" of Maine.

[@johnbarns548]

Bigelows are always awesome. Spectacular day!!

[@tomellis3218]

Great vlog.

[@mathfan0918]

Great video! It's always enjoyable to watch one of your videos.

[@richardearp8577]

Thanks. Beautiful views. 🎉

[@shayzoo2]

I love you and your content. Been watching for years. But I can’t express enough how much I do NOT want to try LMNT. It has nothing to do with you. But it’s pretty frustrating not being able to watch one single KZbinr I love without them slinging that stuff. They have bombarded KZbin with their sponsorships and it’s put a sour taste in my mouth for the product. Anyway. Rant over. I’m glad you got a great view today and I’m super glad you’re going to have a safe place to ride out the hurricane. I hope your feet feel better when you come back out.

[@danielstoddart]

Pro tip that's probably a bit obvious for experienced hikers, but maybe not for noobs: if you're feeling dehydrated and you don't have access to any drink mixes or run out of your electrolyte powdered mixes, get some *plain* Fritos at the truck stop, gas station, or deli. When you camel up and take a break to drink water, eat the Fritos for a snack. This will help replace your sodium. Don't get the flavoured, spicy, chili Fritos, just get the plain ones. Why? Because the plain Fritos have only two or three ingredients and aren't loaded with additives and food colouring.

[@hdbinnc8583]

Well done! A beautiful hostel and great views!

[@kc8hyg]

Happy Sunday

[@angiegrove4027]

Great looking hotel. I'm glad to hear Cody will be back on your channel! (I saw his video come out a few days ago but I'm waiting to watch it until I've seen yours -- don't want any spoilers!!!)

[@TXMEDRGR]

That hostel looks fantastic, I hope you enjoyed your stay.

[@tommythunderhead]

Nice red spruce behind you when you were talking about the sponsor. 🌲

[@trailandtravel]

Nothing worse that uncomfortable shoes in a long hike. Views are beautiful though!

[@lightwalker4558]

WOW! That a lot of long ups and downs for one day. A good thing you could slack pack it and stay at one of the nicest Hostels in ME. 🙂

[@RickINFJ]

You crushed the Bigelows and had amazing views! I agree, it's not night hiking if you don't put your headlamp on. 😂 Hope your feet recover well. ✌️

[@spectrum10]

I have found that a high-powered bicycle headlight that uses LED works even better than a headlamp for night hiking. The only con is that they lose charge rather quickly.

[@pattysmith9892]

Taylor can you tell me again the name of your head set? Love how it raps around your head. I need to get those for my husband. Thanks for your videos! 🥾🥾

[@lynelljansen8057]

They are called Shokz. I have a pair, and I love them, especially for hiking or driving they stay secure. Plus, added bonus, you can still hear the birds and noises of the woods or traffic.

The hurricane that wasn't?

[@spectrum10]

In the vlog intro it says The Bigelows. I just want to know if that is your handwriting or is it a special font you found on-line or in a video editor of some sort.

[@markcummings6856]

Yeah, the Hostel of Maine is nice, but so is the price. The rates for your average hiker is outrageous. In 2018 a room was going for $120.

[@wildflowersadventures]

This is so sad! I wish he would’ve started at 8-9 mile days and built himself up a bit. Don’t lose hope, Chris! You didn’t learn that a thru hike might be too much for you. You learned that you need to start slowly. You can do this!

[@drewray681]

It’s all about Jesus
