Yes, that's right.

Drink it all in today folks, this last day of summer.

Tomorrow: Autumn!

Why not celebrate the change of seasons with a fun hike!

My recommendation: Rumford Whitecap in, as you might expect, Rumford. It's just off Route 5 and a few miles north of Route 2 west of town.

It's a tremendous little mountain (about 2,000 feet high) that offers big time views from its long summit ridgeline.

So go and enjoy! Pack a lunch and a Thermos of cocoa and head on up.

It's easy, straighforward hiking for the most part, with only a couple of steep sections. And once your boots hit the upper granite slabs and you start snaking through the blueberry islands, you'll damn near be in heaven.

Perch yourself on top and take in the 360 degree views: Rumford and its mill stacks, the Androscoggin River, the northern Oxford Hills, the Mahoosucs and the Whites beyond, Tumbledown and the Jacksons.

And the colors, well, they be a changin'. Bonus!

More bonus points: We you get back to the car swing north a couple of miles to the covered bridge over the Ellis River. It's a beautiful spot. Then round out your day with a cold pint and some chow at the Sunday River Brew Pub.

Be sure to pack along the AMC Maine Mountain Guide for trail and trailhead info. The DeLorme Maine Atlas and Gazetteer Map No. 18 is helpful too. The trailhead is right at the gate shown under the "R" in RUMFORD.

Have fun!
