Baxter State Park is a fantastic wilderness with opportunities to hike, camp, fish and observe wildlife in the pristine Maine woods. Read a full review of my last Baxter adventure on my blog. The highlight of any visit is a hike up Mount Katahdin, it is spectacular. Do not miss the chance to rent a canoe and throw in a line in one of the many un-advertised kettle ponds. You will have the place to yourself and the trout are always biting as you float around these spring-fed, ice-cold gems in the shadow of the impressive mountains.

Just amazing - over 700 square miles and awe inspiring. It is a great hike, but allow for plenty of time and dress warm, it gets cold once you turn the last corner and face the field. For more details read my blog.

The hike to Exit Glacier and Harding Ice Field is out of this world. What a great hike, straight up all the way, and the experience is amazing. Check out more details here on my blog

Amazing. The town of Seward is a funky coastal with real small-town appeal. We took a tour through Kenai Fjords Tours and they were awesome. The serve lunch - which was great - and the boat was warm and comfortable inside. Outside there was plenty of room for everyone to see. We saw seals, sea lions, otters, eagles, porpoises, whales...and of course the beautiful glacier spilling into the bay. What a fun day!

This place is amazing. The hosts, Kim and Marcia are wonderful and have tons of good advice. Dinner is family style and you can meet people from all over the world. We rented a house down the road, but found ourselves more often than not eating dinner (and lunch) here. The food was amazing. The next time we travel to Mexico, we will just stay here at the MBG because the rates are great and the accommodations are spectacular (as is their beach). A "must' is scheduling a tequila tasting with Fernando.

You can hike down in and see the White House ruins for free ( the only hike in you can do unguided). It's hot but well worth the hike. Beautiful scenery!

The mural is well done, there is a statue and a flatbed ford. Very cute place on old Route 66. Loved it.

Very cool. We came here to see the spot where they filmed Forest Gump, we found the spot and reenacted the scene, way cool!
