Our journey took us into Maine's Lakes and Mountains region, stopping on the way to hike up Mt Kineo, a lovely trail accessed by a shuttle boat and had a fun lunch at the top of the huge fire tower with 360o views. We camped at Rangeley Lake State Park and finally went leaf peeping! Foliage colours are changing daily and are simply stunning especially in the sun. They say that there are only two places on earth where you get such amazing colours - here and in Japan.
Maine is the most forested state in the USA, 90% - so the sign at Mooselookmeguntic Lake said - dont you just love that name!
We hiked part way up a ski run at Saddleback Mountain, a big skiing area and deserted at this time of year. All I can say about skiing is there is no way I could put those things on my feet and launch myself down that steep hill we hiked up and down. We then did the tourist thing of driving the scenic roads revelling in the awesome foliage and views.
Westwards and into New Hampshire and the White Mountains - laters!
