A September hike in the Western Mountains of Maine, this Daytrip was about making the most of this beautiful month.

Looking for fun things to do around Portland? Join us for a Daytrip over to Peaks Island where we bike around, get wood fired pizza, and go to a Sea Dogs Game.

The Sheepscot River has been an annual favorite for as long as I can remember — floating down the river with family, friends, and even unfamiliar faces while the flow allows us. In my experience, this river offers a great balance of swift water sections, where focus and communication is key, mixed with lazier bits to converse and have a snack.

Winter is filled with great COVID-19 safe activities -- like downhill skiing. After we got some snow here in Maine, we decided to visit Camden Snow Bowl for some mid-week turns. Join us for a daytrip as we make our way up the coast, picking up breakfast at Dutch's, lunch from Sheepscott General Store, and dinner from Long Grain!

For this day trip, we left Portland on a drizzly afternoon and headed to Orr’s and Bailey Island. While we only had a handful of hours before the sun went down, we soaked in (literally) all that we could find left of the late foliage. Follow along with us as we explore the Maine coastline, photographing along the way.

We recently hiked Blueberry Mountain in Evan’s Notch. This mountain hosts vast barrens of blueberries, sprawling across the summit between patches of spruce and bare granite. We certainly were not the first to head up the mountain and come back home with jars of berries to savor, stopping for a swim along the way, but it was still a treat.
