The mountains are calling. This September, choose between either a stunning six-mile “taste trek” across the ridge of Pleasant Mountain or cycle 25, 50 or 100 miles through the beautiful northern Sebago lakes region. All funds benefit the Loon Echo Land Trust, which preserves 3,750 acres of land in western Maine, including Shawnee Peak. If you love Maine’s mountains, help save them for the future.
