Day: 1-3 Boston & Acadia National Park
Leaving behind the city lights of Boston, we make our way through New England's largest state, Maine. Famous for fresh, sweet lobster and the great deals at Freeport's shopping outlet stores, we'll sample both before settling into camp near Bar Harbour. The next days will include some exciting outdoor rock climbing as well as exploring Acadia National Park. Incidentally, the stunning Cadillac Mountain peak is the easternmost point in the USA and the first to receive the sunrise.

Day: 4-5 New Hampshire
From Maine's country roads and small villages, we continue into New Hampshire and the backbone of the northern Appalachians, the White Mountain National Forests. These rugged peaks include the Franconia Notch and the challenging; seemingly vertical hikes are rewarded with incredible views!

Day: 6-7 Vermont
Vermont's Green Mountains are even more beautiful in the Summer and Autumn.
