On the way home from Ogunquit, Teague stopped at Mt. Agamenticus. "The 10,000-acre Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region provides a unique natural treasure in highly developed southern Maine. Mount Agamenticus and the surrounding conservation lands are comprised of a rich and unique coastal forest that supports the highest diversity of animal and plant species in all of Maine." There are various trails for walking, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. We drove to the summit and walked around admiring the gorgeous views.
There was an observation deck that had models for some of the area attractions. If you followed a straight line your gaze should bring you to Cape Neddick and the Nubble Lighthouse.
Or this view through the trees, you'd be able to see the Portsmouth, New Hampshire shipyards and the submarine, USS Albacore which we visited on our first trip to Ogunquit in August 2022
The Welcome Center
The peak in the center is Mount Washington located in New Hampshire. It is the highest peak in the Northeast at 6,288.2 ft
Ceej, which way is North?

Mt. Agamenticus at 691 feet used to be home to an alpine ski area called the Big A
Ruins from the ski lift. The resort closed in the late 1970s.
The Legend about St. Asphinquid. Hopefully, you can embiggen the picture to read about him.
St. Asphinquid's Cairn
A look towards the ocean.
Inside the Welcome Center there was lots to see and do. Like this Journal station with supplies and prompts.
Someone painted a deer on a rock
A bear claw. Not the really good kind.

ReplyDeleteIf you are into walking/hiking there are a ton of trails for all levels.
DeleteVery interesting and beautiful. I especially like your sense of direction! LOL 😂
ReplyDeleteAs you may have guessed, it's because I have a poor sense of direction. I have a kind of left-right dyslexia and can easily get confused. 😸
DeleteImpressive views indeed! Looks like a great place to explore. North!!! 🤣
ReplyDeleteNorth. It's up right? 😸
DeleteThe views from the top are always gorgeous. It looks like you had a great visit. I bet you hiked up too- ha ha-grin-smile.
ReplyDeleteNope, drove and paid $2 to park for an hour
DeleteI had never heard of this place before. The remains of the ski lift amazed me. Thanks for taking us there and showing us the way north.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this place before, either.
