Publisher's summary

The last 30-mile stretch of Maine’s celebrated Downeast, starting to the east of Cutler and ending at Quoddy Head, is the Bold Coast. If you like Acadia and outdoor recreation (hiking in particular) the Bold Coast will blow you away. It is as the best was left to last. Maine’s coastal beauty and allure does not end at Acadia. 60 miles beyond, at the Bold Coast you can enjoy breathtaking views that second to none. The Bold Coast complements Acadia, each enhancing your appreciation of the other. The Bold Coast, however, is not a single entity and cannot be seen, let alone enjoyed, from the road. So, you can’t just motor up Route 1 and start looking for scenic outlooks, laybys, or a loop road. You need to have a plan as to where you should be going and what trails to consider. That is where this book comes in. It describes, categorizes, and prioritizes all of the attractions (and hikes) and even includes various sample itineraries. To enable rapid access to the relevant information the book relies heavily on ‘bullet form’ presentation coupled with lots of tables. This is Anura Guruge’s third book on the Bold Coast. What totally differentiates this from the other two is its presentation style. Rather than paragraph the book is all in rat-a-tat, tat, rapid-fire bulleted data points. The information should pop-up at you. Use the ‘Look Inside’ to check this out. Access to the Bold Coast is primarily via 5 public preserves. This book details all of them in great detail. This book will be like having your own personal tour-guide to the Bold Coast. Don’t just rely on this blurb: ‘Look Inside’. There will then be no doubt.
