Exploring the Southern Maine coast and interior from Kittery to Portland, this eclectic book guides readers to geological points of interest such as waterfalls, glacial boulders, rock profiles, and towering cliff views; to historic houses, garrisons, and mansions; to hiking trails and scenic walkways; to museums, historic churches, and nineteenth-century libraries; to beaches, rivers, parks, and launch sites for cartop watercraft; and to golf courses. Brief descriptions provide just enough information to whet your curiosity without giving anything away and GPS coordinates make sure you don't get lost.
