Maine has no shortage of ways to enjoy the great outdoors. From hikes to trips to the beach, you could spend every weekend this summer doing something related to nature. Now that summer is in full swing (we refuse to believe it could be coming to a close) you may be getting tired of doing the same beach trips and outdoor treks, though. If you’ve hit that point, don’t despair! We’ve found just the thing for you! Try hiking with goats in Maine to really change things up!
