Whitecap Mountain is just under 6 miles with about 1,600’ elevation gain (moderate hike with no scrambles). The summit is wide-open too! The views of the White Mountains are beautiful, as long as the summit isn’t clouded in 🙃

Full-length video is on YouTube if you want to see more 👍

My calming place is just being out on the trails. Disconnecting for a few hours I feel is more important than ever.

High above the tree line in Baxter State Park lies one of Maine’s most desolate and most awe-inspiring winter landscapes: the Tablelands. ❄️

Hiked the Bold Coast Trail in Cutler yesterday. Rugged doesn’t begin to cover it—roots, rocks, and slick spots. But the views? Unreal. Ocean like blue glass. Pines hanging off cliffs like they’re defying gravity.

It's a cloudy day, but you can see a fair distance. There's a large ake in the valley mountains beyond and in the foreground, trees and rocks.

The summit was socked in. this was the best view of the day. #appalachianTrail #HikeMaine #backpacking #peakbagging #hiking #landscapephotography #Bigelowmountains #averypeak

Finally able to do a new, after-work adventure - making it to Gott Pasture in Monmouth, ME.

It was a nice evening hike that looped around a scenic little bay on Wilson Pond.

Easter weekend adventure to Mast Landing in Freeport for a few drinks and then a hike out to Maquoit Bay!

Just need a little sunshine (and less rain) so we can take on some bigger adventures! 🏔️

We treated Leeloo to a birthday adventure to Green Point in Dresden, Maine.

The area is steeped in Native American history; found where the Eastern River and the Kennebec meet, just east of Swan Island.

(Don’t tell her I posted this photo 😉)

Winter views from Sand Beach and Great Head Trail - Acadia.

Best time to visit Bar Harbor/Acadia is in winter so you can get some peaceful moments.

Also saw remnants of an old shipwreck that had washed ashore from a storm!

White Brook Campsite 4 and the nearby stream of its namesake - located off the Katahdin Iron Works road in Brownville, Maine.

Camped here before hiking Gulf Hagas, the legendary gorge nearby!

Finally trailblazed my way to a hidden bridge in Gardiner, Maine.🤫

I was able to track down this beauty that spans the Rolling Dam Brook thanks to some helpful animal tracks in the untouched snow.

Quarry Road Trails - Waterville, Maine

This tall, steep cliff is cool anytime of year, but in the winter it turns into natural arctic art

A westerly view across Flagstaff Lake in Maine and what I believe is the Bigelow Mountain range

Yes, enshittification will come to Bluesky like all the rest.

Enjoy it until then - including this pic of Flagstaff Lake in the Carrabassett Valley in Maine. 😉

The lake has a sad, crazy story for any history buffs!!
