Some days are for covering miles. Others are just for being outside longer than usual.

When the beer garden serves dogs, you know you've found a good spot. Find more places like this on our website. We have the beta; you take the trip. 📍 Farmhouse Beer Garden

More wilderness than people. Out here, adventure doesn't need an itinerary. This is #MainesWildWest. Save this to keep getting wild Maine content ⛰

There’s a rhythm to it: Outside most of the day, then somewhere warm with good food to end it.

Long days, cool mornings, and plenty of ways to fill both.

Small-town western Maine works best when you don’t overthink it.

Colorful on the outside, cozy on the inside. Orange Cat Café is a local favorite for good coffee, fresh flavors, and creative energy. Add this spot to your must-stop list when exploring downtown Farmington. Support local, eat well, and stay curious!

Not fully summer, not stuck in spring. Just a really good time to be outside.

Weekend getaways are one of the things we specialize in. Just saying. 😎 #HeadWest

Not peak season. Not off-season. Just a really good time to be here.

Out here, every day is Earth Day. 🌍🌲 From crystal-clear lakes to winding mountain trails, the Maine Lakes & Mountains region reminds us just how worth protecting our wild places really are. #MainesWildWest

Somewhere between mud season and green season is a pretty great time to explore.

April out here is a mix of seasons...and that’s kind of the fun of it. #MainesWildWest

The rivers and streams start talking first. That’s usually how you know spring is truly here. 👂 #soundsoftheseason

Same mountain, different season. Sunday River shifts from ski terrain to hiking trails and scenic viewpoints once the snow melts. Come and see what's waiting for you! #MainesWildWest

Somewhere between the last good snow and the first muddy trail is a pretty great time to be here.
