HIGHLIGHTS: Stratton Mountain
at 3,936 feet is likely the birthplace of the Appalachian Trail. Benton MacKaye,
who first published a proposal for the creation of the A.T. is thought to have
come up with the idea during a hike on this mountain. A cabin with a summer
caretaker is near the summit for overnight use, and a side trail leads a short
distance to the Stratton Ski Area where a gondola provides access to the base of
the mountain.
