Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

Outdoor lovers flock to Maine for its hearty trails and beautiful views. But, you don’t need to be prepared to hike the summit of Katahdin to enjoy all the state has to offer. In fact, we’ve slightly altered the old photography adage, “the best camera is the one you have with you.” We like to say, “the best Maine hiking trail is the one you actually choose to do!” So, if you love the outdoors, but prefer something short and sweet try this short hike in Maine. It’s beautiful, fun and feels oh-so-very Maine!
Footbridge Beach makes up the middle section of Ogunquit Beach, which has been rated one of the top 25 beaches in the USA by TripAdvisor.
To access the footbridge, head to Foot Bridge Beach where there’s a parking lot. In the summer you’ll need to pay a fee, but in the winter you should be able to access it for free.
