Jaime really wanted to see a moose while she was in Maine, and when we were driving them to the airport we spotted a crowd of people along the road with their cameras in hand. She talked her dad into stopping so she could finally see her moose, and this is what she saw. It was a beautiful scene along a stream with pretty fall colors, but no moose. Poor Jaime!
The next day Bob found a hike he thought would be fun, so we gave it a try. First we crossed this little bridge. Not bad! Not high or steep!
The trail then went up some rock steps. It's funny how when the glaciers moved the rocks they formed these nice, easy to climb steps!
Did I show you how the trails in Acadia National Park are marked? They have these sign posts with the trail names and their mileage listed.
The trail we took was called Jordon Cliffs Trail, and this time I did say no. This is as far as we went because I wasn’t ready to climb across more cliffs. We had lunch here, along the trail, and our view of Jordon Pond was great!
Our trip back down the trail had nice views too, but this is Acadia, and it’s all so beautiful.
Some trails are marked like this, with their names carved into a tree trunk.
We had lunch along this trail, and it looks like Bob’s tired of waiting for me to get done taking pictures.
More steps. No, they’re not really left by the glaciers. I was kidding!!!!
Look Jaime and Beth! I actually hiked through the cave before dad and didn’t panic! Good old mom!
Don’t you just love the way that little bridge is “carefully” placed across the crevasse?
This is the view from our camper at our campground near Bar Harbor. We could see Frenchmen’s Bay, and it was hard to leave this campground. But we’ll be back!
Next blog will find us heading south.
