We decided to hit some of the more unique views of the park today due to the fact the fog finall lifted and it was going to be our last full day. Tomorrow morning we pack and hit the road.
Our first stop is known as Bubble Rock. It is a huge granite boulder hanging on the edge of a cliff. There were really two ways to get there. One easier than the other going up. We decided to take the easier route up then the more difficult part down. The view from the top was awesome. We could see the entire lake we hiked around as well as all the neighboring peaks. The trip down was sometime a tight squeeze and other times just a scramble over boulders. By the time we got to the bottom we were drenched in sweat and ready for lunch.
After snacking we drove toward Thunder Hole again. This time taking in all the sights and stopping now and then. We could have spent the entire day on the coast.
We decided to hit the western side of Acadia as the Memorail Day crowd was a bit thick. We found a few other good places to hike which also had great views.
Out last hike of the day was Ships Harbor. It was flat but had interesting shore features. We stopped to listen at the waves pounding on the rocks, the ring of the bouy in the distance, and the caw of a seagull.
Kasey and I ended the day by catching the sunset at the top of Cadillac Mountian. It was packed. The weather was nice and the view was perfect. A good way to end a good day.
