hut-to-hut hiking in maine. @bradentonherald #backwoodsadvnture #

This sounds like a great family hiking adventure with all the amenities. If you like to hike, bike or ski but you still want some modern conveniences this sounds like it would fit the bill.

"All told, the system comprises 80 miles of trails and four full-service huts (with eight more planned), spread over the lovely, lake-dotted landscape two hours north of Portland."

Designed for cross-country skiing, hiking, and mountain biking, the trails are blissfully accommodating, meandering flatly over meadows and through woods, carpeted here by moss, there by gigantic, prehistoric-looking ferns, and dotted with gemlike wild strawberries (which we picked and ate) and rubbery, neon-colored mushrooms (which we left alone)."

They will even carry your packs for you! As I get ready to depart on my next backpacking trip I wonder if by some miracle there will be a porter there to take my pack to the campsite, cook the meals, build the fire, set up the hammocks and tarp, well a guy can dream can't he.  The other really cool thing is that they are off grid too. Not only is this a fun family outing but it is also environmentally friendly as well.
