The Pine Tree State GeoArt series will take you on a short trip not far from Stratton. The road is passable by most cars, but bikes and e-bikes are fine too. There is also about a mile or so of walking. Each cache will highlight something interesting about Maine.
Maine Huts & Trails
Maine Huts & Trails was first imagined in the 70s by Larry Warren, a local guy with an impressive track record of turning big ideas into realities. The vision: a series of backcountry huts that would allow multi-day Nordic ski trips from Moosehead Lake to the Mahoosuc Mountain Range; a model inspired by the hut-to-hut treks throughout the European Alps. To date, there are four backcountry eco-lodges connected by 80 miles of trail open year-round from West Forks to Stratton.
In the 30 years since the idea was hatched, Maine Huts & Trails has evolved into much more than a great place for a backcountry adventure. As a nonprofit, the organization has become a valuable community resource for Western Maine. Besides drawing thousands of environmentally conscious visitors to the area every year, Maine Huts & Trails benefits the local community in many ways.
