Beautiful day for a Hike
Amme and I went hiking today in Acadia, and what a day to go!

We chose to go up the Gorham Mountain trail. It's listed as a moderate trail, but doesn't require any climbing. It did get our hearts pumping though!




There was a nice little overlook that we stopped at to catch our breath and take some photos.



Eventually Amme let me know how she felt about the camera being pointed at her, lol.






When we got to the summit we took a little break to enjoy the beautiful view and how gorgeous the ocean looked.



We still felt pretty energized so we decided to keep going forward instead of backtracking, continuing on the backside of the Gorham trail.


We met up with the Beehive trail and on the way down, saw some hikes taking a more perilous trail above us. The Beehive trail ends at the Park Loop Road at the entrance to Sand Beach.



Once we got there we hiked a ways back towards the car and had a picnic on the rocks just above the rising tide. We ate bologna (Wunderbar!) sandwiches and then sunbathed for a while before heading back to the car. I was too relaxed to remember to take more photos, but Amme did!

While we were hanging out on the rocks some ballsy seagulls pestered us. After feeding them a while they got even bore brazen and tried to grab our bag of orange and banana peels (which is funny because Amme threw them a piece of orange and they were having none of that!). This photo was snapped while he was about 3 feet from my face.


We drove into downtown Bar Harbor after hiking back to the car and got some huge dark chocolate truffles before heading home. I love hiking days!
PS: See the full album in my photos section, or on flickr, or as a nifty slideshow!
