Rangeley, ME – “Moose” is one of those odd words where the plural is, well…”moose.” And one thing that’s certainly not lacking in the northwestern corner of Maine is moose.nSaddleback ski resort is once again offering complimentary moose watching tours twice each week in Rangeley during the summer months. Moose watching, a popular form of wildlife recreation in the backwoods of Maine, provides excellent photo opportunities and is a fun, family activity.

Saddleback Moose Tours depart from the Guest Service Center on Main Street in Rangeley on Monday and Thursday evenings on the Saddleback Shuttle. Tours are about an hour and a half long, depending on how many moose are seen each night, and are free for all locals and guests visiting the Rangeley area.

“We’ve been seeing a record number of moose on our tours this year, frequently eight each night,” said Kara Wilson of the Guest Service Center. “We’ve also seen baby moose, foxes and deer. The tours are a great way for people to see Maine’s wildlife up close and Saddleback is pleased to provide this free tour.”

The Moose Tour follows Route 16, also known as “moose alley,” which heads toward the Eustis-Stratton area.

Reservations are required. Tours typically depart around 7:15 p.m., but times change as daylight wanes in the later part of the summer. Contact the Guest Service Center at (207) 864-5496 to reserve a seat.
