Several weeks ago Kirsten and Brian came for a visit and we went hiking in the Gulf Hagas area. It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I moved to Maine so I was psyched. The trip up took us about 3 hours or so from Yarmouth. We discovered on the way back that we took the wrong route – if you’re travelling from southern maine, definitely take the Brownesville entrance to the land, not the Greenville one. The dirt road in is shorter and much better maintained – in fact unless you’re in some form of SUV/offroad vehicle with high ground clearance, definitely don’t take the Greenville route, your car will be bottoming out and you’ll be buying a new muffler.

Anyway click on the photo if you’d like to check out more pictures of the trip. Gulf Hagas is called the ‘Grand Canyon of Maine’ and while that’s rather grandiose, it is a beautiful area with several awesome waterfalls.
