Hikes in the Maine Mountains: Day Hikes and Overnights from the Rangeley
Lakes to Baxter State Park, Third Edition
by Cloe Chunn
Paperback from Countryman Press/Backcountry Books
ISBN: 0881504998
An updated guide to one of the East Coast's most popular hiking venues.
"After more than two decades of hiking," writes Cloe Chunn, "I am even
more in love with this place." "This place" is northern Maine, a magnificent
and largely unspoiled stretch of landscape encompassing Baxter State Park,
the Rangeley Lakes, Aroostook County, and much more. Chunn leads hikers
up Maine's highest and most scenic peaks--Mounts Katahdin, Kineo, Traveler,
and Doubletop--from gentle grades to vertiginious scrambling along the
Knife's Edge. She leads you to waterfalls, remote ponds, lookout towers,
swimming holes, and incomparable vistas. Hikes in this revised third edition
range in length from 2 hours to 5 days, and provide something for hikers
of all abilities. Each hike description includes a topographical map and
information on mileage, rise, and terrain. Along the way Chunn provides
information on the geology, wildlife, and history of each trail. And she
places special emphasis on family hiking--how to choose the best trails
for kids, and how to make the trip appealing to hikers of every age. 40

trails in northern New England--from the rolling hills of southern New
Hampshire and towering summits of the White Mountains to the large lakes
and abundant wildlife of the Northern Forest and rocky coastline of Maine.

by special interest and best times to go. Information is also included
on wildlife, geology, and history.
Regions covered include Acadia National Park, Camden Hills, Baxter State
Park, the Maine Coast, Moosehead Lake, the Presidential Range, Mount Washington
Valley, Franconia Notch, the Lakes Region, and the Monadnock/Sunapee area.
JEFF ROMANO has hiked in New England for more than 30 years. A resident
of Hallowell, Maine, he works with the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, a land
trust that focuses on the conservation of state's unique coastline. |

Canoe
Trip: Alone in the Maine Wilderness
by David Curran
Paperback from Hellgate Press
ISBN: 1555716733
Each year Dave Curran travels alone by canoe into the Maine wilderness.
He's paddled the Seboeis, the Allagash and the Moose. Despite the foolhardiness
of such an adventure, he prefers to go alone. It's easier to plan, and
going alone he's more focused, less distracted. He goes for the challenge,
battling weather, bears, black flies, mosquitoes, getting lost. He goes
for the scenery, the wildness, the silence, the peace. Curran works as
a clinical psychologist and lives with his wife and two children in Berlin,
Massachusetts. He is also the author of Hellgate Press's Canoe Trip: North
to Athabasca. |
