More fun from Acadia National Park... Cadillac Mountain is the highest point on the Eastern Coast of the US, it is the first spot to see the sunrise each day. I wouldn't know as the sun ROSE at 4:21am. I was asleep in my tent. Remember the tent?
Ryan and Ben hiked to the top of the mountain. (This is the view from the Top!) The trail started at our Campground, and they went along the South Ridge for over 4 miles. They took my camera... Carly and I, and Tim, Laurie, and Amanda DROVE to the summit to wait for them! It took them just over 2 hours...
This would be TIM, waiting patiently... I was NOT waiting so patiently:)
The path our hikers took...
The trail is marked with blue spray paint on the trees...
The FIRST time they saw this lake...
Ben kept Ryan on track, and apparently TALKED the whole way up! If you know Ben, you understand how completely amazing that is!
Then they hiked higher, and saw the lake again...
There's Ben, on the trail! No wonder it took them over 2 hours! Amazingly enough, he did NOT get hurt on this "strenuous hike"... he reserved THAT fun for just walking on the grass in Laurie's front yard! I'm sure I'll get to that story eventually... Taking all summer to blog about our 2 week vacation REALLY makes it last a lot longer for me:)
