Day 3 – Ogunquit—Portland—Ogunqui

We’ll start the day with a walk on the Marginal Way, a mile-long, paved foot path along the rocky coast with picture-perfect views worthy of any photography book. Upon reaching Perkins Cove, board a lobster boat for a one-hour cruise to see traps hauled and lobsters caught by authentic Maine lob- stermen. The captain will provide a detailed explanation of the lobster fishery and the many scenic points of interest along the way. This afternoon we’ll travel to Portland, where historical homes and maritime museums chronicle the emergence of the area from a trading and fishing settlement into one of the nation’s most active seaports. It’s also been ranked #1 craft beer city in the world by Matador Net- work. With a population of 200,000, this old port city with a young vibe is home to 19 craft brewing companies and an additional 15 craft brew pubs. We’ll visit ones that interpret historic styles with unique twists. After a stop in Kennebunkport, we’ll return to Ogunquit.

Day 4 – Ogunquit—Mount Washington—Bethel

This morning we’ll travel through the lakes re- gion and into the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Spend time in North Conway for shopping at its famous tax-free outlets or relax at one of its local pubs. A ride on the Cog Railway takes us to the summit of Mt. Washington, the eastern seaboard’s tallest peak . The Cog is the world’s first mountain-climbing railway and a National Historic Engineering Landmark. On a clear day, the view extends all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to Bethel for the overnight.
