They are both hearty climbs, especially Katahdin, which doesn't have any restaurants, gift shops, weather stations or cog trains on top. Henri Hi,

Thanks for including two from the East. They are both hearty climbs, especially Katahdin, which doesn’t have any restaurants, gift shops, weather stations or cog trains on top.

I always wondered why I didn't hear more about hiking Mt. Rainier; you cleared it up for me. If you want to add in a cool trip for folks in the Southeast US, Mt. LeConte in the Smokies is a fantastic hike...no climbing necessary. I think it's only about 6,000 ft. There's a great lodge at the top where you can crash for the night if you need a chance to rest at the top and enjoy the views. No electric, pump your own water, just peace, quiet, and wilderness.

For anyone looking to hike in the Whites, I recommend the Caps and Castle trail up Mt. Jefferson, looping around to Mt. Adams. Great day hike, and much less crowded than Washington.
