Though not as stunning as the original Grand Canyon, Gulf Hagas is no forgettable sight. Also known as the Grand Canyon of the East, Gulf Hagas is a three-mile gorge cut away by a pounding waterway. Despite its name, the Pleasant River was harsh on this landscape, cutting away the walls to now stand as tall as 130 feet in some spots. Considered one of Maine's 14 National Natural Landmarks, hikers follow the rim to catch the best downward glimpses of the multiple waterfalls.
