Our travels to the beautiful coastline of Maine bring us to our home location, Belfast, Maine.

Afterwards, we will have time for lunch before enjoying a narrated scenic one hour horse-drawn carriage ride around the mountain, meandering in and out of the woods. The carriage roads were constructed by John D. Rockefellar as a means by which the wealthy could enjoy riding the Park.
