Where to start?

#1

Me and a couple friends go to school in Maine and we are planning a three day trip before classes start. We would really like to finish on top of Katahdin, but we are unsure of where to start. The plan is to get three full days of hiking in. We are all average hikers who could easily do ten mile days in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York sections. If anyone has any suggestions on how many miles to do each day in Maine and a good place to start that would be great.
Thank You,

it would be tough to do three days and finish on Katahdin because of the 100-Mile Wilderness that’s right before it. You’d probably have to drive into Baxter and take a day just to do that–but leave early for that, it’s a tough climb.
