The Magnificent Overlook In Maine That’s Worthy Of A Little Adventure
It doesn’t take more than a trip outside to realize just how gorgeous life here can be. From the coast to the mountains, there’s always something new just around the bend – even if you’ve been in Maine your entire life. That’s why we love this particular overlook. Even if you’ve been here a hundred times, something new might catch your eye. The way the sun shines, the way the wind blows…it’s worth seeing again and again. And, if you’ve never seen it? Check it out!
This view might just be one of the best in the state - and it doesn't require driving down any dirt roads to find.
The route to get here is almost as beautiful. Winding along Routes 17 and 4 as the roads wrap around Rangeley Lake, the beautiful byway follows the ridgeline of the mountains. It also travels through the gorgeous rolling hills and valleys of the area.
The term "Height of Land" actually refers to an area where two watersheds come together, but in this case it seems perfectly apropos to describe the view.
To check out this incredible view for yourself, you’ll want to head to Township D, which is just 25 miles from Rangeley. For turn-by-turn directions from your own location, click here.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
