The 'Bold Coast' is 60-miles further up Maine's fabled Downeast from 'Acadia'. The Bold Coast offers Acadia's visual glory distilled to its essence, ruggedized & minus the crowds. The word 'Acadia' way, way back referred to a 'refuge' – an idyllic place. Well, the Bold Coast is certainly that. If you like Acadia, the Bold Coast will enchant you. If you (like the author) love Acadia, the Bold Coast will entrance you. It is not one or the other. They complement each other. This is a simple, informal & pragmatic guide to the Bold Coast primarily aimed at 'senior' amblers – those that savor communing with nature, in exceptional settings, at leisure, smelling the roses. The author, very much a senior, is a rabid ambler. In this book he invites you to literally follow in his footsteps as he ambles through all the Bold Coast 'hotspots' – bar none. If you have never heard of Maine's Bold Coast this book will make you want to visit, ASAP. If you are heading to the Bold Coast you will want to have a copy of this beforehand so as to make sure you miss nothing. Color versions of the umpteen photos appearing in this book can be found, (albeit copyrighted), online.
