In celebration of 2009, we at the Maine Island Trail Association wanted to express our heartfelt appreciation for everything you have done for the Trail over the past year.

As winter settles over the coast, please allow us to bring a little bit of the Trail directly to your living room.

Please click on the movie below (or click here to view full-screen) and enjoy some images that remind us of what makes Maine's islands unique and so valuable to us.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2010!

Sincerely,
