Small moments and simple pleasures…

Spring

Birdsong in boreal forests. Delicate early blossoms. Spring awakens the forests and water alike. Fly-fish freshwater streams or hike whisper-quiet trails. The off-season will reveal its secrets.

Fragrant gardens. Sun-washed beaches. Summer is vivid with light and color. Savor Maine-made ice cream bursting with sweet, wild blueberries. Sail on a windjammer. Or retreat to a backcountry sporting camp.

Fall

Autumn sets Maine aglow in golden, luminous foliage. Relish fresh flavors of bountiful harvests. Stroll welcoming small towns with independent shops and galleries. Here, every route is the scenic one.

Winter

Exhilarating ski runs. The glitter of snowfall. Jovial holiday festivals. And craft cocktails by a roaring fire. Winter is a dance between invigorating cold and cozy warmth. Revel in it all.
