  1. A serene mountain lake rests beneath the rugged peak of Cadair Idris in #SnowdoniaNationalPark, surrounded by rolling hills and rocky terrain. The tranquil waters reflect the sky, offering #ScenicViews ideal for photography and quiet contemplation. Popular among walkers and nature enthusiasts, the #HikingTrails here provide access to the dramatic landscapes and unique geological features of #CadairIdris.

  5. ‘The gap is gone!’ New stretch of #EasternTrail opens 15 months early

    The 1.6-mile segment of the Eastern Trail linking #ScarboroughME and #SouthPortlandME opened Thursday.

    SOUTH PORTLAND — "Finally, the gap is closed. After over a decade of planning, setbacks, fundraising and permitting, the 'Close the Gap' project opening a key segment of the Eastern Trail is finished, 15 months ahead of schedule.
    The 1.6-mile section of the Eastern Trail connecting Scarborough and South Portland opened Thursday in front of a few hundred cyclists, walkers and runners who attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

    "Closing the gap — between the Wainwright Sports Complex in South Portland and the Nonesuch River in Scarborough — created a continuous 16-mile trail without on-road gaps from Bug Light Park to downtown Saco. It was a long-awaited step to fully connecting the #EasternTrail, a 65-mile off-road trail from South Portland to #KitteryME.

    " 'It’s also about more than just opening a section of trail; it’s about connecting communities and fulfilling a vision that has been years in the making,' South Portland Mayor Elyse Tipton said. “The gap is gone!' "

  7. My face when AllTrails says a 2.9 mile trail is easy and it most definitely is MODERATE. 🤣

    Chimney Bluffs State Park is beautiful. It was worth the extra work. #nature #outdoors #hiking #hikingtrails #LakeOntario

  9. So, the news isn't all doom and gloom... The #SouthPortlandME to #SacoME portion of #EasternTrail is about to be completed (August 6th is the date). That means folks can walk / bike from #BugLight in South Portland, ME to #KitteryME! Wow!

    Eastern Trail "Close the Gap" Project

    "The Eastern Trail is a vital multi-use trail of state-wide significance in Maine. The trail extends 65 miles from South Portland to #KitteryME, and travels by scenic #woods, #TidalMarshes, and classic #MaineVillages. Since its Scarborough developments from 2004-2006, the trail has provided millions of people with a recreational and transportation resource that connects them to the beautiful Maine landscape.

    "A key piece of trail is missing in Scarborough. A 1.6-mile 'gap' interrupts off-road travel between South Portland and Saco. The construction of this critical trail segment will close this gap and provide 16 continuous off-road miles reaching from South Portland’s Bug Light to Downtown Saco. The cost to close this gap is $7.1 million dollars. Funding was sourced from the Town of Scarborough, City of South Portland, Maine Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, and #EasternTrailAlliance individual and corporate donors.

    "After several years of work to raise the necessary funds, complete the project design, align stakeholders, and acquire the necessary permits and land rights, the project went out to bid in Spring 2025 and construction began in June."

  11. Oh, I forgot to mention this... For next week's #SolarPunkSunday, I'll be focusing on #SolarPunk-related resources in #Ontario #Canada! #RepairCafes, #CommunityGardens, #HikingTrails, etc. Lots of good resources that I'm looking forward to sharing. If you'd like me to focus on a particular geographic area for future #SolarPunkSundays, please let me know!
