Today we’re sharing a conversation with Lindsey Downing, who, with her husband Mike, owns and operates Mt. Chase Lodge in Mt. Chase, Maine, which is just outside the new National Monument and Baxter State Park. Lindsey tells us her story of growing up at Mt. Chase Lodge, traveling the country, hiking the AT with Mike, and then returning to Maine to take over the family business. This conversation took place during our trip to the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, where we spoke with people about the past, present, and future of this land.
