Maine, Day Five

We spent all day on day five hiking in beautiful Acadia National Park! It was super foggy all morning, so the views weren't ideal when we first started out, but it cleared up throughout the day and we managed to stay nice and cool while hiking by knocking the raindrops off the trees that covered the paths. What a fun day!

We started out at Sand Beach, arrived before most of the crowds and enjoyed some quiet time with the waves.

We headed inland a bit and found the Beehive Hiking Trail, which was formidable. All of the hiking in Acadia is pretty extreme, but we did it all day anyway.

From there, we found more trails and more beautiful vistas.





This is the Beehive summit from the bottom.

The pretty Bass Harbor Headlight, which we found as sunset was approaching.




All along the Park Loop Road, there are places to stop, park and get out and walk around. We did that quite a few times, usually making our way down to the water.








Fun times in Acadia! Excited for day two!
