Answer 3

If you are in good shape, and accostomed to hiking with a heavy pack, and have a support person to meet you to re-supply, you could start at the north end(Mt Kahtin) an hike south you could do it in approx 110days. Don't count on it, though. If you are asking this question, you probably do not have the skills to do it that quickly. That being said, though, should not deter you from attempting it. Start in Spring, and finish in the south where it is still warm in the Fall. Good luck and happy hiking!
