Day 8.222: Acadia Mountain

Fresh from our success with the Gorham Mountain Trail on Saturday, I decided we should try the Acadia Mountain Trail on Sunday.

Before too long we reached the top and were rewarded with views of Somes Sound - often referred to as the only fjord on the US East Coast, it is now technically classified as a fjard ( I feel they should have coined "fyaud" instead.


The way down was at times just as exciting as the ascent, but ended with a bit of a tired trudge up the Man o'War truck road:


We were rather hot and a bit tired and ready for some lunch by the time we finished, but the views were amazing and the trail was challenging but fun.
