As the days get longer and the temperatures get warmer, people are always looking for their next great adventure.

For some people, that adventure is centered around relaxation. A quiet day at the lake, a serene day fishing by the river or an afternoon filled with sun on the beach.

For others, an adventure means a day of physical activity. From a canoe trip to exploring a new place in Maine on a day-long hike.

If you're more of the hiking type, good news for you. There's a short and easily accomplished trail here in Maine that is one of the best scenic hikes in the nation.
