Maine Best Adventures 2011
BEST CANYON HIKE
Gulf Hagas, Bowdoin College Grant East Township
When a raging river drops precipitously through narrow canyon walls, the
result is a series of frothy waterfalls and swimming holes so frigid--or
refreshing--that only a native Mainer could dip his or her head. Smack-dab
in the Hundred-Mile Wilderness region, the eight-mile Gulf Hagas hike is a
remote wilderness gem. Located about 15 miles northwest of Brownsville
Junction, the nearest town. Off Katahdin Iron Works Road
BEST RIVER RAFTING
Penobscot River, The Forks
Moments after boarding your raft and going over your first major rapid,
dubbed "Exterminator," you immediately realize that this 14-mile stretch of
the Penobscot is a serious joyride that will have you shrieking with
abandonment. Go with a reputable outfitter such as Northern Outdoors, which
ran its first trip down the Penobscot in 1976. 1771 U.S. Route 201. 800-765-
7238, 207-663-4466; northernoutdoors.com
BEST RIVER PADDLING
Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Newry
Registered Maine Guides Polly Mahoney and Kevin Slater, owners of Mahoosuc
Guide Service, will take you down the 92-mile Allagash from spring through
fall, but they highly recommend their "Before the Bugs" trip, May 24-29 this
year, or the "Fall Foliage" paddle, September 27 to October 2 this year,
when the insects and the majority of humans are gone--replaced by moose as
talkative as Bullwinkle (they're in heat)--and Mother Nature is putting on
her most colorful dress. 1513 Bear River Road. 207-824-2073; mahoosuc.com
BEST HUT-TO-HUT HIKE
Maine Huts & Trails, Franklin & Somserset Counties
Spend the day hiking in a vast tract of Maine wilderness, where mountains,
large lakes, serpentine rivers, and tumultuous falls all vie for your
attention. Then grab a hot shower, a hearty dinner, and a comfy bed in one
of the three huts created by Maine Huts & Trails, or spend a couple of
nights and do all three. Start at Poplar Stream Falls Hut and then hike 11
miles north to Flagstaff Lake; from there hike another 12 miles to the
newest lodging, Grand Falls Hut, on the north bank of the Dead River. Visit
the Web site for rates. 877-634-8824; mainehuts.org
BEST WAY TO CRUISE THE ATLANTIC
Maine Windjammer, Camden, Rockland, Rockport
If you want to taste the salt of the sea but prefer to have someone else
take the wheel, climb aboard one of the Maine Windjammer Association's 13
historic or contemporary schooners and sail the island-salted waters off the
Midcoast. Enjoy lobster dinners under the stars and anchorages that rock
you to sleep. Visit the Web site to contact individual captains for details
on cruise lengths (weekend to eight days), accommodations, rates, and home
ports. 800-807-9463; sailmainecoast.com | | | C*****1

发帖数: 746 | 15 漂流的前一天才知道漂流从最难的大漩涡开始而不是先从简单的开始，后来在
旅馆里听两个刚刚漂完的美国人说，他们那一拨有一条船在大漩涡处翻了，上
面的几个女孩子有些受伤了，吓得不敢再漂了。当时给我吓了一下子，晚上直
到三点多才睡着。就担心我们的九位女同学和一位水性不好的男同学别
出事。我几乎决定让他们skip 两个Class V, 第二天又听说水速极高 （3200 CFS,
2500 CFS the day before)，几乎接近不能漂的临界点， 真让我很紧张了。 我和他们
谈能不能从简单初开始因为我们很多人没飘过，他们说不能改，但说可以ＳＫ
ＩＰ两处Class V. 后来我们的队员没有想绕过不漂的。我们的九位女同学们
都很勇敢！就这样开始漂了。 | C*****1
