Trails invite a different pace from a drive between destinations. Walking puts attention on the ground ahead, the rhythm of each step, and the gradual change in perspective that comes with moving through a place on foot.

Sons of Yesterday can be approached as a quiet pause in a wider Maine trip—a chance to trade the usual rush of getting somewhere for the steady, uncomplicated act of going on foot.
