Piazza Rock: WOW! BIG!!!

February 5, 2013 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Long ago, when the glaciers rolled over our Mountains, carving them into the High Peaks of Maine that we enjoy so much today, giant chunks of the mountains were torn off & carried amazing distances from their origin, & came to rest in the Valleys below in massive heaps of giant boulders! A unique & very accesssible example just off the Appalachian Trail is in near-by Phillips, easy to find all year-round for a great day-trip outdoors to marvel over one of Nature’s not-so-mysterious wonders! Pack your snowshoes to follow the tracks of Andy & Carra as seen in this older footage, this winter, or remember to pack a picnic lunch & visit in the warmer months! Check it out: it’s one HUGE overhang to ponder, & it won’t cost you a cent to see it!!

Appalachian Trail 75th Celebration at Sugarloaf

August 31, 2012 by WSKI Leave a Comment

Some highlights and words from the Appalachian Trail conservancy’s executive director on August 18th.

The 75th anniversary celebration of the completion of the Appalachian Trail, held at Sugarloaf was a great success. The trail runs right through the western mountains of Maine and there are tons of spots to take advantage of the trail. Folks from all around enjoyed the mountain atmosphere, hiked the AT to the plaque and site of the last connection of the trail, enjoyed chairlift rides and a huge celebration at The Rack BBQ. For more information on the AT here in Maine, visit www.matc.org or appalachiantrail.org. Get out and enjoy “the peoples trail”.
