Stacey Meister, a Perham resident who has camped and hiked most of his life in Aroostook County, has a few pieces of advice for scenic drives and hikes in the fall. Scenic spots attract hikers in season
One hiking destination he suggests is the top of Haystack Mountain, which is located on Route 163 between Mapleton and Ashland.
Another is Hedgehog Mountain, which is located on Route 11 between Portage and Eagle Lake. "That is a beautiful place to walk and look over the countryside," Meister said.
"You'd want to take a little canteen of fresh water and something like a granola bar to keep the hunger pangs away," he added.
Meister suggests Route 11 south of Patten for a scenic drive: "You can look at Mt. Katahdin when the leaves have all turned, and that's beautiful."
