elcome to my website! My name is Michelle Young and I have lived in the Western Maine Mountains all my life.  I am a Registered Maine Guide and my specialty is Hiking, Kayaking, Mountain Biking, Snowshoeing, Snowmobiling, and Moose tours. 

would like the opportunity to share with you the natural beauty of the untamed remoteness of the Western Maine forests. You will experience the clear sparkling waters of the lakes and rivers, the breathtaking sights of the scenic mountains and valleys, and the exciting thrill of seeing a majestic moose, or a graceful deer or the many other varieties of Maine’s extensive wildlife. People of all ages can enjoy kayaking, whether playfully splashing along a sunny river or relaxing while floating along the gentle current. The water is sometimes disturbed by the silvery splash of a fish and the distant call of a loon will often be heard. Hiking through Maine with a hint of balsam or pine scenting the breeze while enjoying the exhilarating feeling of adventure will have you looking forward to returning for more. If you have always wanted to be in a winter wonderland scene, snowmobiling or snowshoeing through the Maine woods will give you the experience you will never forget.

Maine is a much desired vacation area throughout the four seasons, let me show you why!

"Michelle served as a hike leader for the 2003 NWF Family Summit at Sunday River.  She had over 100 hikers joining her over the course of the week, and we heard only rave reviews and positive feedback about her skills, her friendliness, and her knowledge.  They say you can't please all of the people all of the time, but somehow Michelle managed to do it!  Thanks Michelle for a great week!"
