I’m in Maine, and getting on in years, so my hiking, never in your league, is not very rigorous. Baxter Park has some fabulous trails, easy to access, including those for Mt. Katahdin. I doubt I’ll climb that again, but will do lesser heights. The area of Maine’s western mountains where I spend most of my free time was once hyperbolically called The Yellowstone of the East; it’s beautiful, and rugged enough, but very much miniature compared to what you’ve got.

My current boots are Keens, although I had Merrells and Sorels I’ve liked really well. Keens shoes are, I recently discovered to great relief, the most comfortable for my ancient toes. For toughness and winter warmth I like Sorels. I still use the Sorel winter boots that I’ve had for 21 years, cracked and leaky as they are, for snowshoeing in.
