| On top of Cedar Swamp Mountain with a view of Sargent Mountain behind us |
We had a perfect day for hiking on our most recent day off, so we decided why climb just one mountian when you can climb 6 mountains in Acadia National Park. It only took us about 6 hours (ncluding lunch and breaks) and 7.5 miles, so it really wasn't that long! Most of the mountain peak trails here are pretty steep, but the mountains aren't that high and most of the trails aren't long. These mountains are all pretty close together and they all have beautiful views!

On top Gilmore Mountain with views of Bald Mountain
on the left and Parkman Mountain on the right. It's not as far
as it looks between mountains. |

This is atop Penobscot Mountain with
Sargent Mountain in the background. The valleys are filled with
moss and lichen covered rocks, ferns and glacial boulders. |
 |
This is what one of the trails looked like. I guess that no one wanted to build an actual trail
so they just painted blue blazes here and there along the rocks. |

Six more peaks done, but we haven't climbed all the mountains in Acadia yet! We still have a few to go!!
