Moose Cave, Grafton Notch State Park – Newry, ME

Maine / Megan

Grafton Notch State Park was a pleasant surprise.   I’ve known of it for a while.   (Driving through at dusk is apparently the closest you can ever get to guaranteed moose sightings.)     We headed up here to see a nearby waterfall, and then realized we’d hit the park.   That waterfall was
