Whether it is a guided tour of the Sunday River Ski Area trails or a Wildlife & Eco evening tour and cookout, the Sun Valley team will make it an unforgettable experience. Do you have young ones that can’t navigate? Sun Valley provides ATV’s with a rear seat or even a four person ATV if you prefer the whole family to ride together. This is truly a great experience and the Sun Valley guides patiently teach those who have never touched an ATV before in their life. By the time you are done, you will want to own one! If you have your own, check out the numerous trails available to you in the area.

Fishing: Whether you want to hook that big one or simply relax by casting and reeling, Western Maine is certainly the perfect place to “unwind”. If you need to augment your gear with the latest in fly’s and gear, check out Sun Valley Sports (authorized Orvis dealer). Sun Valley also offers guide services and boat rentals as do the Maine Ranger Guide Service, and Bethel Outdoor Adventures. Never fished, but want to learn? Any of the above services will get you on the right path. Give it a try! You’ll be “hooked”!

Scenic Drives/Picnics: This part of the country offers beautiful scenery no matter where you look. However, one of the most famous “drives” is the Mt. Washington Auto Road. Open only when the snow melts, this famous drive up the east coast’s highest peak is one that you will want to experience. Make the drive early, see the weather observatory and ride the train, have a picnic lunch, do a short hike around the summit, descend while the sun is still up. A day you won’t forget and a bumper sticker for your car that says “This car climbed Mt. Washington!”.

Hikes & Nature Walks: The Sunday River Area is redolent with scenic hikes for people of all ages and abilities. The Grafton Notch State Park is full of scenic trails which include portions of the Appalachian Trail. There are numerous short walks past caves and up to scenic picnic areas. For more information, check out the comprehensive trail book provided as part of the Ski-Esta library or check out this link.

Wildlife Tours: One of the most exciting sightings of wildlife in the area is the moose! Sign up for an organized tour or simply take a drive to the Jordan Grand at Sunday River and keep your eyes peeled. At dusk or early in the morning, you may very well see them grazing by the side of the road. The other great place for self guided moose sightings, is the drive up to Lake Umbagog – as you get close to Grafton Notch State park, start looking in the trees along the road and you will surely see one of Maine’s most sought after wildlife specimens.
