Hi everybody,
My wife and I are moving from WV to New England in the coming months, for new job opportunities. We're planning some big Maine trips for next summer -- I visited Acadia & Moosehead briefly years ago and have always wanted to explore the state in more depth.
What hikes do you recommend in Maine? Any particular stretches of trail we shouldn't miss? It can be AT, non-AT, whatever. Thanks.
PS....Not much of the AT runs through my home state of West Virginia, but if you go further west, we have some great hiking in the Monongahela Nat'l Forest. Check it out if you haven't been yet. Dolly Sods Wilderness is probably the best known, and deservedly so, for its awesome scenery and various loops, but there are lots of other good spots: Cranberry Wilderness (hang your food, though, it's a bear sanctuary and they have no fear), Canaan Mtn Back Country, Seneca Creek Back Country, etc.
