Post by Greg – Last weekend Mark and I took the wheelers to Byron Maine to check out the area trails.
We set up camp at Coos Canyon campground on the the Swift River which is also known for gold panning.
About 100 feet behind our site was this gorge cut into the bedrock by the river. The cliffs are up to 30 feet high and during the day it’s a popular swimming (and jumping) spot.
There are many unique features carved into the rock along the river. The technical term for them are ” hydraulic erosion features”.
I was impressed with this tree on the rim. Still not sure how it survives.
Some of the available accommodations at the campground were pretty rustic.
Others were very nice. So there is something for everyone.
We rode the trails most of the day Saturday stopping to take in the views . The local variety store was a popular stop for lunch and gas.
On Sunday morning we spent a little more time exploring the river before packing up and heading home. We didn’t find any gold, but we did experience a scenic and ATV friendly part of Maine..
