Sam Shirley of the High Peaks Alliance is set to host a presentation on some of his favorite easy, moderate and strenuous foliage hikes in western Maine’s High Peaks region.

This free presentation will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, at the University of Maine at Farmington’s Thomas Auditorium on High Street.

The presentation will feature some of the best secret and little-known hikes in the region, according to a news release from the alliance.

“This is a great opportunity to learn about what the High Peaks Alliance does, and to find some great hikes to try this fall as we get into peak foliage season,” said Brent West, executive director of the alliance. “The High Peaks Alliance recently published the State of the High Peaks Report which mapped over 1,700 miles of trails. Sam is currently out in the field surveying many unofficial and hidden away trails that cover this area, so his presentation is sure to be of interest to both new and seasoned hikers alike.”

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided. No RSVPs are required.
