On Friday, October 8th ALTC took a trip to Bucksport to visit the Penobscot Narrows Observatory.
A one minute ride on the fastest elevator in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont will take you to the top of the tallest public bridge-observatory in the world. The others are in China, Slovakia and Thailand. Just opened in May 2007, the observatory is already proving to be a popular attraction. The beauty of the Penobscot River and surrounding countryside is immediately apparent as the elevator door slides open to a dizzying view from 420 feet up. Ascend two more levels up to find 360 degrees views, complete with identification panels showing you how to locate nearby mountains, lakes and towns.
The students were able to enjoy a beautiful look at the changing of the seasons, a topographical look at the waterways and even a birds eye view of our own bus!
