The Hermitage Details
Gulf Hagas is often noted as "The Grand Canyon of Maine" for its scenic outlooks, waterfalls, and towering stone walls. Because of its infamous reputation as a place of breathtaking beauty, visitors here are many, as are the attractions along the way like Screw Auger Falls and The Hermitage. Hikers should be wary as the location is extremely remote for Maine and has hazards such as steep drop-offs and river crossings where young children and others may be vulnerable. If reconsidering, a stop at The Hermitage might be of more interest with its beautiful stand of old-growth pine trees.
