Mountain enthusiasts are invited to a hike and conversation in Liberty Friday, Oct. 19, from 3-8 p.m. In celebration of the publication of the 2018 Edition of the Maine Mountain Guide, editor Carey Kish will be joining Midcoast Conservancy to hike a portion of the Hills to Sea Trail.

Come along for a gorgeous four-mile round trip to the top of Hogback Mountain. Views from the overlook promise a gorgeous pastoral view toward the Camden Hills, punctuated with Maine’s famous fall foliage. Count on a moderate pace for the hike, with some uneven round and roughly 400 feet of elevation gain from the trail head to the summit.

Hikers are invited to extend the evening at Lake St. George Brewing Company where they can continue the conversation with Carey, buy a copy of the newest Maine Mountain Guide, and sample some local brews.
