A new guide lists 10 hikes that help residents train for a Katahdin ascent this summer, starting with easier trails at Bradbury Mountain and progressing to challenging routes like Baxter Peak.

It details distances, elevations, and local spots to plan safe hikes (using progressive challenges across Maine).

The guide advises hikers to review local advice to enjoy nature responsibly.
