Tom Lange at the summit of Mount Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine and the end of his 2,178-mile trek.

Lange was one of only 438 people credited with hiking the entire length of the trail nonstop last year.

Great story. Every year my dad, grandfather, and myself hike a portion of the Appalachian trail in one day. My grandfather is now 79 years old. Up until about 3 years ago we used to do 28 miles in one day. My grandfather just couldn’t finish that year. He does run 5 miles every morning though.

Beautiful!

I've done a lot of day hiking and the women are always lovely in a healthy sort of way. Nothing like fresh air and a couple of thousand feet of climb to put roses in your checks.

Check this trail video out...The Scariest Trail in the World

"Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an approach to Makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro in Spain’s Andalusia."
