| WINTER When the snows hit the mountains, New England skiers make the most of it! The Sunday River Ski Resort, located about 2 miles from the front door of The Heights, has over 120 trails that connect eight different mountain peaks and has runs for every taste and ability. Snowboarders have 4 different terrain parks, including a super pipe and a half pipe. The Sunday River Learn-To-Ski Program is designed to get even the most beginner of skiers or boarders up and moving. For Information about the various winter activities, please take advantage of the following websites: The following are for those of us who are not interested in downhill sports, or are just looking for an alternative: |
SUMMER During the summer months, we also have many activities. A great way to see western Maine is by throwing on a pair of hiking boots and just walking out the front door. One of the best spots is Grafton Notch State Park, located along the Maine-New Hampshire border, just minutes away from The Heights. The most famous footpath in the world, the Appalachian Trail, passes through the park on the way to its finish in Mt. Katahdin. Throughout the park you will see waterfalls, caves, and incredible mountain vistas. One of the popular trails is the Grafton Loop, a 21-mile round tripper that can be tackled in sections, depending on your skill level. If you are seriously interested in hiking, we are preparing hiking maps to make available to all our renters. Just mention it to me before you arrive in Sunday River and I will let you know how to obtain them. Also, a valuable resource may be www.trails.com.
