Solo travel, (not singles travel- that’s a different subject altogether) is kind of having a moment. You can’t scroll too far on any Instagram feed without seeing at least a few shots of someone ‘Eat, Pray, Loving’ their way through a fabulous adventure. It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that so many people are choosing to hit the trails alone- independence, self-awareness, and an adventurous...

There’s nothing quite like the brisk mountain air hitting your lungs, and the invigorating feeling of working up a sweat in the middle of a snow covered wilderness. That’s one reason we love Nordic skiing at Maine Huts & Trails. What we don’t always love is waking up the next morning and feeling the inevitable burn from all the muscles we’d forgotten about over the summer. If you’ve been biking, hiking, or...
