I was very anxious about the field day I was to be given to go out into the park and hike instead of working the visitor center. I wanted to do Cascade Pass but I was worried about the 7.4 mile length and 1800 feet elevation gain since had never done a hike with that […]
I hiked Blue Lake in early September after the Labor Day mobs had gone back to work. The 1050 feet of elevation gain are on a very gradual trail so it was no big deal. Lovely little glacial tarn. I had hoped to see mountain goats but didn’t have any luck.
I hiked Ross Dam Trail to see both Ross Lake Resort and the dam itself. For someone who is afraid a height, looking down the Diablo side made my stomach lurch. An impressive dam with great views.
On another beautiful, but warm afternoon we hiked Thunder Knob Trail.
Bumped into friends from Acadia and hiked to Cutthroat Lake on a beautiful, but warm day in early August. On the way back we stopped at Washington Pass Overlook to see the spectacular views. Views from Washington Pass Overlook on Highway 20

I took my time getting from Acadia down to Savannah. I was blessed with clear skies and no wind for the entire trip. It was awesome to drive in such nice conditions after battling torrential rain and side winds most of the way up to Maine. Acadia campsite before leaving October 18th. Not it was […]
Below you will find slideshows of my favorite trails in Acadia Summer 2018. They are in no particular order. Click the picture and it will take you to the slideshow.
Some of these trails I did on my days off and some I did while roving during my volunteer work at Acadia. Not as spectacular as my favorites, but everything in Acadia is remarkably beautiful. If you arrive in Acadia on a foggy day don’t worry — while it will restrict your views, Acadia is […]
Delayed the trip by a week due to the tropical storm heading into the area and then another two days when two fronts met creating rain. I lucked out and then hit a two week window of almost perfect weather. The first stop was Charleston for 3 days. I did a long walk of the […]
