Backpacking Maine’s dramatic Bold Coast provides lasting memories

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • June 10, 2022

We were hiking in Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land, a state-owned swath of wilderness in eastern Maine. The property covers 12,334 acres and includes about 4.5 miles of rocky coastline that overlooks the Bay of Fundy. The popular outdoor destination features more than 10 miles of hiking trails that lead to five backcountry tent sites. As I walked along the dramatic cliffs of Cutler, I was reminded of my journey from university student to outdoor professional.
